Songs in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
From Zelda Wiki.org
In Oracle of Ages, Link obtains the Harp of Ages, which allows him to play several different songs to manipulate the flow of time in Labrynna. Using these songs, he travels back and forth between the Present and Past.

Tune of Echoes
The Tune of Echoes is the first tune that Link learns to play on the Harp of Ages. Nayru's apparition teaches it to him when he takes the harp[1].
The Tune of Echoes awakens the many Time Portals scattered across the land of Labrynna[2]. He must step into an open Time Portal to travel to the opposite age.
The symbol for this tune, which is the courage symbol, also appears on Farore's Pearl, as Farore is the goddess of courage, and it also appears on the Ancient Sky Book.
Tune of Currents
The Tune of Currents is the second tune that Link learns to play on the Harp of Ages in Oracle of Ages. It is given to him by Tokkey, a man who researches tunes and time traveling, when Link plays the Tune of Echoes for him.
The Tune of Currents causes time to flow quickly forward[3]. When Link plays it in the past age, he immediately reverts to the present, no matter what his location. However, if he cannot land in that space in the present age, he will be sent back (just like the Magic Mirror in A Link To The Past)[4].
A temporary portal will be left at Link's destination, which can be used to travel back to the past age. This temporary portal will disappear when Link uses it, or one of the time portals on the map.
The symbol for this tune is the same symbol on Din's Pearl in The Wind Waker.
Tune of Ages
In Oracle of Ages, the Tune of Ages or Tune of Time is the third, and last, tune that Link learns for the Harp of Ages. Nayru teaches it to the young hero when he rescues her from Veran's grip.
The Tune of Ages unlocks the full power of the Harp. It allows Link to freely travel between the past and present ages. When he plays this tune, he immediately reverts to the opposite age, no matter the location. However, if he cannot land in that space in the opposite age, he will be sent back. For instance, if he plays the tune in the Present and there's a tree in the Past, Link will be sent back to the Present(and vice-versa).
The symbol for this tune is the same symbol on Nayru's Pearl in The Wind Waker.
