1075 Sergei Prokofiev - Op. 67 - Peter and the Wolf

This is a Modern classical piece of music written in the mid 1930s as a symphony for children featuring both music and narration. Even if you don't know the music by title, you will immediately recognize this piece when you hear it. Much of the techniques used within this piece has been used many times in film and stage, i.e. each character is represented by a unique instrument and tune.
There are quite a few versions of this piece available on YouTube; here are a couple of examples:
Here is part one, two, and three of an excellent version of the piece narrated by David Bowie, sadly, this one is not all up on YouTube.
Here is part one and two of the Disney telling of the piece.
