"Symphony" Songs, Vol. 1

Here's the first set in a three-part series of posts featuring songs with the word "Symphony" in their titles. For the most part, the songs themselves are not symphonies, nor are they part of symphonies (with a few notable exceptions). But they are quite good. I hope you, like I did when compiling them, will enjoy!  ~  JH
