Favourite Piece Of Music

[Caribeing]

What's your favourite piece of music something that is emotive and stirring and evokes memories! Hard to choose, mine is Schubert's Ave Marie, Mario Lanzo I'll Walk With God, music from Sleeping With The Enemy, Elvis singing Danny Boy!

Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana by Mascagni and the Overture, Marriage of Figaro by Mozart, to start with

Like Tilly one of many.When we were kids we had an old wind up gramophone we'd inherited from my gran and the only record I can remember mum playing was I'll Walk With God. We played it at her funeral and when ever I hear it the memories all come rushing back

Handel's The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba,
when I was younger, my friend did it in his piano exams and he used to play it for me, I also used it as my entrance music when I got married instead of the usual wedding march.
I'm not clever like you lot that can do links, sorry. X

Humming chorus from Madame Butterfly

in the context of the plot, this piece is very emotive to me - and brings a lump to my throat every time

Johann Strauss II's best-known waltz, An der schönen blauen Donau (On the Beautiful Blue Danube)
This was played in 2001 A Space Odyssey which I saw at cinema with surround sound. Awesome.
