This was made famous when Stanley Kubrick used it in the opening scene of 2001 Space Oddessy, but it was actually the opening of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a symphony by Richard Strauss, inspired by Fredrich Nietzche's novel by the same name. This section depicts the opening of the book, wherein Zarathustra emerges from his mountain cave and greets the rising Sun at Dawn. He remarks that the Sun is overflowing with splendor, like a bucket overflowing, ever giving, but also remarks that the Sun would be nothing without that which receives his light. Zarathustra says that like the Sun, he is overflowing with Wisdom, but his overflow will be wasted without those to receive it. So he decides to end his 10 year hermitage and descend down to the Mountain to spread the good news to the people down below. https://youtu.be/dfe8tCcHnKY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKSOJjhonO4 Isaac Albeniz was a piano composer. He composed a dozen or so famous pieces that incorporated Spanish Folk an Flamenco melodies and overall tried to evoke the character of Iberia in his works. Most of his pieces were picked up by guitarist Francisco Terrega, and many of those arrangements have become classical guitar standards. You've probably heard Andres Segovia play a few. The Doors - Spanish Caravan also uses the main melody from Issac Albeniz's Austurias. The last work Albeniz wrote before his death was 'Impressions of Iberia". It's an hour and twenty minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9PfHK_xj_0
