What is the most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard?

[Deleted]

I need something to relieve my stress. My something beautiful is Widor's Toccata. It is just magnificent.

This is super cheese, but the first time I heard Pachelbel's Cannon in D. I was in high school (I think a freshman) and my piano teacher played it for me. It literally took my breath away and I knew that was the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to when I got married (well, the first time anyway - not this time).

Of course at the time I thought it was some obscure piece of classical music and figured myself all yu-neek and special because I had "found" this hidden gem. Whoops.

This piece is stunning. It's sounds as if the notes are actually light and gold. Goosebumps. I love Eric's compositions.

I love the second movements to both the Emperor concerto and the Kreuzer sonata.

[thebamker]

Honestly? Pink Floyd's Us and Them. It's the closest I can get to almost crying over a song.

If Manheim Steamroller made a version, then it is the most beautiful song ever!

Right?!

I got to sing it my junior year of high school and I nearly cried every time we performed it.

I was going to say the same thing. I love this I heard it when I was younger and had the same experience. I used it in my wedding when I walked down the aisle too.  To me its flawless in its simplicity

This. And it even comes with a space video. I look like Signature Cat when I watch and listen.

This is quite possibly my favorite piece of music

Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony, movement 2. The horn solo at the beginning and the build-up at the end just wrenches my heart. It gets more beautiful every time.

It's very very Time Life Books, but she kills it. It gets me every time.

I appreciate classical music. I do.

But there has only been one time when I teared up listening to music, and that was when I saw Muse in concert for the first time and heard "Butterflies and Hurricanes."

If we are talking non-pop/modern music, I'm going with Flower Duet - Leo Delibes

Or O Mio Babbino Caro (Puccini) sung by Maria Callas

Can't think of the name, it's one of the arias from La Boheme by Puccini. Gives me goose bumps. I think most people would recognize it, it was used in a champagne commercial a few years ago. The commercial seems to run every year round New Years.
