Most achingly-beautiful music


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?

Tons of classical pieces but, in the more modern world Jeff Buckley singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" The first time I heard it I was frozen on the spot and yes, crying. It's an amazingly moving song.
Enjoyed reading this thread. Here are some additions.

1. Spanish Harlem - Rebecca Pidgeon, Leiber, Jerry

2. Harvest Moon - Cassandra Wilson, Young, Neil

3. The Priests (album) by THE PRIESTS
Mercedes Sosa, her powerful, musical and sweet voice, her entire career towards human justice...always Mercedes!!
