Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?

I haven't read every post over the last 4 years, but two off the top of my head that I haven't seen mentioned: Grieg - "Ase's Death" from Peer Gynt Dylan - Girl From the North Country
If you aren't involved by Peer Gynt "driving" his dying mother to heaven through this music, well, nothing will save you.
Agree with the adagio from Albinoni Oboe Concerto in D - truly haunting. Massenet's Meditation from Thais. The so-called 'Flower Duet' from Delibe's Laksme - ('Dome epais le jardin', or something like that) On the more folk-jazz-pop front; Sandy Denny's 'Carnival' from the album 'Like an Old Fashioned Waltz'; Van Morrison's 'When the Heart is Open' from the 'Common One' album.
