Here's the first set in a three-part series of posts featuring songs with the word "Symphony" in their titles.

Songs About The Wind, Vol. 2

Mmkay, so I accidentally lied. This isn't, in fact, merely a 2-part series. There's such an abundance of great Songs About The Wind that I can't bear to leave out so many good ones. So there will be a Vol. 3. But for now, enjoy these great tunes!  ~  JH
