Which pieces of music do you find really moving?

[Tailypo]

Was just thinking about this, and would be interested to hear what you all think.

There are loads of pieces that I find hugely moving. I was thinking back to when I watched Dunkirk at the cinema, and I found the version of Nimrod played on the soundtrack really moving. I (and most of the audience, I think) were crying a little bit by that point. I also absolutely love I vow to thee my country, although I know people think it's a bit controversial. I think it's probably my favourite hymn.

The Pearl Fishers- Bizet.
Intermezzo Cavalleria Rusticana- Mascagni.
Adagio for Strings- Barber.
Traumerei-Schumann.
Schindler's List theme.
Second movement Beethoven's 1st Piano Concerto.
Anything by a Welsh choir, particularly a good hymn .

Definitely agree with Highland Cathedral
Sunset (DS used to play this at Cadets so reminds me of him when younger)
Nimrod
Pachabel's Canon (played at funerals of D in Laws and DF as coffin came in)
Zadok the Priest
I vow to thee my country
Jerusalem
Bridge Over Troubled Water
You've got a friend

The Old Rugged Cross. It was my grandpa's song. It was featured in an episode of Doctor Who a few years ago and I ended up sobbing.

Nimrod - my mum's coffin left the church to this
Abide with me - sung at every family funeral I went to as a kid. Have to go out of the room at the start of the FA Cup Final or I'll cry!
Libera Me from Verdi's Requiem
The slow movement of Mozart's clarinet concerto
The Last Post
Ave Maria - Schubert

There are probably more but I'm sat at work welling up, so I'd better stop!

Lots of the pieces already mentioned. Plus:
Mahler Symphony No. 5, especially the Adagietto (if you like Nimrod or the Barber Adagio, you'll probably like this)
Adagio from Brahms Violin Sonata
Brahms Symphony No. 2
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 (Brief Encounter!)
Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2, especially the clarinet solo in the Adagio
Slow things played by brass bands
The bit in La Boheme when Mimi dies

There must be loads of others too.

We are the best we both can be from Babar the elephant!
Up the wolves by The Mountain Hoats
Oats in the water by Ben Howard
Imagine but the Eva Cassidy version
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls
Wake Up by Coheed and Cambria
I'm Possible by Dave Mcpherson
Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Free Bird for that matter!
Tons more as well!

The music from the film 'Somewhere In Time'. I can't listen to it without blubbing.

Ohh and:
Turning Pages by Sleeping at Last
Loads of songs by Death Cab for Cutie but mostly Marching bands of Manhattan, I will follow you into the dark, What Sarah said and Transatlantisism.
Til it happens to you by Lady Gaga also saw me through very dark times.
Music is one of the most important things in my life. I love it.

Hallelujah Jeff Buckley

Hold on by Tom Waits as well

I also love the Welsh National Anthem and 'Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer' - especially when sung loudly by a Welsh Male Voice Choir! Ahh me too Ali :)

Phil Collins - You'll be in my heart
Ellie Goulding - How long will I love you?
Mairi Campbell's version of Auld Lang Syne
Ludovico Einaudi - I Giorni
All of these have personal significance for me and never fail to make me cry

Love Changes Everything by Michael Ball
Ode To Joy by Beethoven

Solveig's Song from Peer Gynt
Chopin's Nocture no.9
Agree with the theme to Schindler's List
Bethlehem Down (and quite a few other Christmas carols, but this one more than most)
Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce (but maybe it's the lyrics more than the music)
The Israeli national anthem

Says by Nils Frahm

Life Story and 21:05 both by Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm

A Sort of Homecoming by U2

Varuo by Sigur Ros

Beethoven's 9th Symphony

The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams

Loads but
Ave verum corpus - william Byrd
Misere mei Deus, Allegri
Funeral match (i thinkPiano sonata no2 )Chopin
Adagio - Albionini
Moonlight sonata

Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat gets me everytime
Modern wise; Up the Wolves by The Mountain Goats, The Scientist by Coldplay, No Surprises by Radioed and Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah

Bachs fugue in D minor. My grandpa always told me how his father would cry whenever he heard this. He'd just seen pretty much everyone he knew killed in the Somme and was recovering from injury in Reims. He was walking round the ruins of the cathedral and someone was playing it on what was left of the organ. He was only 17 at the time, the poor fucker.

More modern but only a selection

Redemption song, Bob Marley
Sarah, Bob Dylan
Street spirit, radiohead
Paris, Texas, Ry cooder

Romance for guitar (anon)
Salut d'Amour - Elgar
Piano concerto Op21 (2nd mvt) - Mozart
Consolation no 3 - Liszt

Nimrod played at the Remembrance Sunday service from the Cenotaph always has me in bits.
Also Whitacre 's Lux aurumque, a lovely choral piece.

Pachelbel Canon but also placemarking so I can check out all these later

I find it incredibly moving to listen to Speaking Unto Nations (Beethoven's Symphony No 7-11) as heard in the film 'The King's Speech'

I could easily cry every time I hear it.

Nimrod - but it has to be played by a brass band - it's my home area (Worcestershire/Shropshire/Herefordshire) encapsulated, with the beautiful rolling countryside...
Adagio for Strings - memories of it being played at the Proms, conducted by Leonard Slatkin, just after 9/11. You could feel the waves of grief and loss coming out of the television...
Slipping Through My Fingers - has me in tears. Every. Single. Time.
Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye - Beth Neilsen Chapman (to be played for my children at my funeral)
Over The Rainbow - Eva Cassidy

The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughn Williams.

So beautiful.
