"Proserpina" by the extended McGarrigle-Wainwright family. I first saw this performance on a 2015 CBC special, and I've never forgotten the power and beauty of the song, and of the family.
"Spring Shall Bloom," by the Elektra Women's Choir. This site has a link to Christina Rossetti's poem so that listeners can read along.
The Rite of Spring, by the London Symphony Orchestra. As one of the commenters says, "... spring and human sacrifice just go so well together." In 1987, the Joffrey Ballet presented a reconstruction of Nijinsky's choreography. It's easy to see why the original performance would have caused a riot.
Finally, here's a link to my short story about two participants in a self-help class for the unwillingly resurrected--led by an expert--who get to know each other during a coffee break.
