Taken From Wikipedia, Dictionary.com
Program music is a genre of musical compositions that are intended to depict or suggest non-musical incidents, ideas, or images, such as those drawn from literatur. A characteristic example is Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, which relates a series of morbid fantasys concerning the unrequited love of a sensitive poet and the object of his affection that does not feel the same. 

The term is almost exclusively applied to works in the european classical music tradition, particularly those from the Romantic music period of the 19th century, during which the concept was popular. The term is usually reserved for purely instrumental works (pieces without singers and lyrics), and not used, for example for opera.
