Everyone deserves to hear this. CDL comes in at 7: Claire de Lune got me into piano music, as I'm sure it did a lot of people around the Twilight time. Debussy is incredible, but a song that I cannot stop listening to is "Re" by Nils Frahm. If you haven't heard it I recommend giving it a listen.
Didn't even think about posting it. I knew it would already be here. The choral version used in the game Homeworld is amazing as well. This is really incredible. I always swear I can almost hear the voices of grieving Angels in the Strings version, so this one just makes it even more real. That piece made the movie "Platoon". Going to go out on a limb here but if you enjoy that piece you might also like some of Ennio Morricone's work espescially his score for "The Mission" if you haven't heard it already.
Lots of the others listed, but I love the dreamy quality it has. The dreamy tones always made me think of the wheat fields, since I first heard the piece, as used in the film I was surprised to learn it was inspired by underwater life. Fun piece of trivia: I was lucky enough to see the painting as part of a traveling exhibition. I was a student at the time, and we, as a class think art school decided to go to this exhibition.
I was really drawn to the painting, and was taking it in, when this gorgeous woman came up next to me.
I commented on it to her, and said "I don't know if the artist's name is pronounced "weeth," or "why-eth. We chatted for a bit, and I suggested we go out sometime. She smiled and politely declined, and I thought that was the end of it, but, as we were leaving the exhibition, she came up to me in front of my fellow students, and handed me a piece of paper with her number on it, and said "call me.
For some reason, I never did call that number My college's choir director has her choir learn that one every year. A year ago at this time we sang the entire All Night Vigil in a gigantic cathedral. The greatest concert I'll ever be a part of. I came here for this answer, but I don't think you can just listen to the 4th movement alone and have it have the same effect. The build-up from the other movements is what makes the 4th so incredible.
Also, seeing it performed live is just indescribable. If anyone reading this gets the chance to see Beethoven 9 live, do it, even if classical music isn't usually your jam. My father loved classical music. The night before we pulled his life support, and once more after we pulled it and were waiting with him as he slowly passed away, we played all of his favorite pieces. To listen to that music, knowing it was the last time he would ever hear it, to be giving him that final gift, was so exquisitely painful and yet also the most beautiful music I had ever heard.
To listen it through the ears of someone hearing it for the final time is an unbelievable feeling. My grandmother passed away at home surrounded by 4 of her daughters. She asked them to sing to her and they went through all of her favourites with their usual harmonies. She left them during the last bit of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Her eulogy was probably the easiest and hardest writing I've ever done with a send-off like that.
Picking out a mother's day card yesterday and I felt like I was punched in the gut. A beautiful card with a rainbow that played the song, with the verse "Mothers make rainbows wherever they go". I'm crying as I write this, but it's nothing compared to what I did in the store. My face was covered in glitter for hours from wiping the tears away before paying.
At the time of her death I occasionally wondered if I shouldn't be a little more upset, feeling like I was a little callous. Years later having such a strong and sudden emotional response is somehow really gratifying. I'm glad that song is forever changed for me. So sorry to hear, but I'm sure he must've had the best final moments in life one could ask for: The first movement is great and relaxing and all but the third movement is honestly one of my fave pieces.
Probably does the opposite of calming someone though. I'm very heartbroken right now, and their music is so beautiful Here is a good performance. Words can't describe it, but Brahms got pretty close. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind.
Rachmaninov piano concerto No. Came here to comment Legend of Ashitaka, glad to see it's already here! What a fantastic and emotional piece! A lot of Joe Hisaishi's pieces are just spectacular works of art. I was listening to this while decorating my living room, it just so happened to be next on my playlist. My slightly dotty 87 year old great aunt popped in for a visit at the same time, and sat listening to this in silence. When it was finished, she said, in a profoundly spiritual tone of voice "Dear, do you know, in I heard this played in Worcester Cathedral.
Your great uncle and I sneaked off to the cloakroom during the performance. I had my first orgasm to the middle section of the piece. Have you heard Kleiber's rendition with the Vienna? Karajan receives a lot of acclaim, but I don't think there is a better 7th than Kleiber's. Moreover, you get a fiery 5th , which I think is the reason most pick up this recording. I remember hearing that they would sit around their apt in NY before they were famous and practice vocal harmonys for hours and hours on end to get them perfect..
It really shows in the music.. Whoever decided that music should not be interrupted during battles in the Zanarkand Ruins is a genius. Wandering Flame is another beautiful one from ffx, I feel 3 things while listening. Sad, hopeful and calm. I don't even like FF, but the music is so achingly beautiful that it's one of my favorite CDs. May I suggest Brahms: Howard Shore maybe got inspiration from this. I mean by definition she would bang everything and she was always dressing like a hoodrat and shit.
One day I heard her play violin to a teacher. I worked in a radio station for 2 years and this hoe in my highschool was the beat music I have ever heard. Maybe it was the fact a violin sounds so good in the hands of someone who is skilled. Or maybe she was just that good. And it made me think "maybe, just maybe I can talk to her and, idk, i Will hear more of that" we were on speaking terms due to a delinquent mutual friend. I brought it up to her the next day, said it was very good, she said thank you and then she started talking and I remembered why I never really liked her that much.
I always thought that was rather heart breaking how he had clearly wasted his life. Badger just seemed dumb, but Pete clearly had someone who cared enough to teach him. That's a hilarious story, but damn! Sometimes you can find beauty in the most unexpected of places. Everyone I've shown it to, even if they're not into guitar based music, gets chills when that first bend comes in. No one will probably ever see this comment, but Only this version, I have others but this one is the best. Echoes by Pink Floyd. The song for me is a 23 minute escape from reality.
From the other worldly sounds to the simple pings at the beginning. The second I hear that opening note I'm lost. Motion Picture Soundtrack and Street Spirit genuinely leave me unable to do anything other than listen intently for the duration of the song. Along with this song, They're soul crushing. I had just picked it up from a secondhand music shop a couple days before. Oh man when I got to that verse And when he repeats it in the climax, I wanted to sing it at the top of my lungs, sing out all my tension, all the anguish of what I'd been dealing with lately But I was at home with my parents in earshot, so I just laid down and silently cried instead.
I stopped listening to Radiohead for a long time. But I'm glad I did because now that my depression is back, this music, that song especially, still gives me emotional release and now reminds me that I will get through this again. This song gets me through feelings of depression. Whenever I feel like shit, I mouth or sing to myself "I'm not here, this isn't happening.
A lot of Radiohead songs are simultaneously good at making one sad and relieving the stress of depression. Wear headphones if you can! Love listening to this piece. Also what genre would you list this under? Can never find music that gives me the same feeling. My favorite is probably No. The Nocturne from his posthumous opus in C-sharp is also great.
All are on spotify. Granted it's no Mozart, or Bach, or Debussy. But it has it's own beauty. Pink Floyd plays like poetry and every song and even the albums as a whole tell a story. And Gilmour's solos have a way of conveying such meaning with not that many notes. The man plays with his soul. To get that unique sound out of his guitar they actually built a solid concrete box and put an amp in it, then turned it all the way up and dropped a mic in.
If you ever get the chance, go to one of Gilmour's concerts. You will be amazed.
Not sure if this is my pick for most beautiful, but most treasured in my family. Played on a massive pipe organ when my father walked me down the aisle, and on bagpipes a few years later when we buried him. Played when two of my daughters were married. We will see if the other daughter chooses it when she marries in Oct. The Moldau by Smetana.
It's about the river near his home. It sounds like how a river flows and changes with the seasons. Played it in a youth orchestra I was with in my younger days and I still shed a tear every time I hear it years later. I'm amazed no one has put this yet! Concierto de Aranjuez adagio performed by Paco de Lucia Goosebumps and tears in my eyes just about every time.
It makes me think of epic romances throughout history or something, lol. I'm glad to see that others have already mentioned Erik Satie's Gnossiennes. I find this version of Gnossienne no. It transports me to a more tranquil dimension. It comes from their album called "Satie en Orient" which is just a bunch of his work played on 'exotic' instruments. It's a pretty cool concept, I think.

I think the contrast of the peacefulness of the music with the subject of the song is beautiful. A retrospective looking back on a life of poor choices, when no such. “She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And a critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made .
