Tone poems, huh?  Music evoking "images".

Smetana:  The Vltava (also known as The Moldau).  Definitely a bubbling brook.

Wagner: (Wow!  *LOTS* of stuff here!  Mostly "fragments" from his operas.)
	I will mention only a few *obvious* items, leaving the rest as an
	exercise for the net.)

	Prelude to Act III of Die Walkuere (the famous "Ride").  This may be
		colored by previous knowledge of the opera.
	Prelude to Das Rheingold.  Primordial nothingness forming into water.
	Transition music, scene II to scene III, Rheingold; the Descent to
		Niebelheim, complete with the sound of anvils.
	Siegfried:  Forest Murmurs.  
	Lots of places in the Ring:  Magic Fire music.  It "sounds" like fire.

	[Well, these items create images for *me*!]

Let's see some more items.
