Here is a classical music classic. Scheherazade with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff in 1888 and inspired by the Tales of the Arabian Nights.
R-K wrote a brief introduction to the work:
The Sultan Schakhriar, convinced that all women are false and faithless, vowed to put to death each of his wives after the first nuptial night. But the Sultana Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining her lord with fascinating tales, told seriatim, for a thousand and one nights. The Sultan, consumed with curiosity, postponed from day to day the execution of his wife, and finally repudiated his bloody vow entirely. ref
