I have finally worked out what this music is. Having been told it was called Ballad of the Lost Dreams, that's how I introduced it to the orchestra. Then Andrew pointed out that the "Greek Waltz" we played was called Waltz of Lost Dreams and, as Da Capo Alba were now calling the other tune simply "Ballade", I did the same. Now I have found it - it's from a 1969 film called The Heroes, and the piece is called The Ballad of Uri. There is a translation of the lyrics here, and you can hear it sung on YouTube.
I'm happy now, and can relax.
