There's a pretty, slow, minor-key version in the 1967 movie adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd (Alan Bates and Julie Christie). The recorded version I have is by Evelyne and Bob Beers and has a lively major-key melody (pretty much the same melodies but in completely different keys and tempos). The Beers version is "Volunteer" and I believe the movie version is "Grenadier".
