Songs in 5

I need recs for INSTRUMENTAL music (no lyrics, or at least not in English) written in some form of quintuple meter: 5/4, 5/8, something more arcane, whatever. Songs which are only partially in such a meter are acceptable, though, y'know, not some complicated jazzy thing where it's like a measure here and three measures there and so forth; I'd like it to be recognizably quintuple without following along on the score to see where it changes.

Part of it is. Part of it isn't. Both parts are going at the same time, a clash of rhythms as a metaphor for clash or armies.
