Hey all, I saw something like this in the piano forum, and I thought I`d post it here. What do you guys think is the most beautiful piece you`ve ever heard? Like one that makes you cry every time you hear it? It can be from any genre.

Personally, I think "An American Elegy" by Frank Ticheli takes first place. I welcome your comments.

Thomas

Rach`s Vocalise
Vaughan Williams, The Sea Symphony

For me, it would have to be
"You`ll never walk alone"

I couldn`t name just one, so I`ll think of a few peices off the top of my head.

Capriccio sextet- Strauss
Rite of Spring- Stravinsky
Lachrymae- Britten
Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis- Vaughan Williams
Sospiri- Elgar

The last peice I mentioned is short and relatively unknown, but it`s wonderfull!

Yeh can any of u send me those songs, tmorrison10@yahoo.com

Clair de Lune, by Debussy...

Chopin`s berceuse or barcarolle

I luv Gabriel`s oboe from the mission *sniff* so beautiful, and I have this one version with yo-yo ma playing on the cello absolutely gorgeous... But I must say I love the LOTR *lord of the rings* soundtracks woohoo Howard shore rocks!

un sospiro by liszt
chopin`s 3rd sonata

Prelude no. 45 by Chopin

oops sorry i meant opus 45

I love Nella Fantasia,which means "In my Fantasy"

-2nd movement from Beethoven`s 5th piano concerto
-Smetana`s Die Moldau
-Mascagni`s Intermezzo form Cavalleria Rusticana
-Albéniz`s Capricho Catalán
-1st movement from Paganini`s 3rd violin concerto in E major
-Mendelssohn`s Spring (song without words op 62 no 6)
-Vivaldi`s Winter (all three movements)

and I think that`s all for now...

I was wondering whether you could send me any of these:

-Lchrymae by Britten
-Sospiri by Elgar

Thanks!
