I third Barber's Adagio for Strings....absolutely heartbreaking.
Pachelbel's Canon in D also, but in a less sad way.
I find Japanese bamboo flute music in particular to be hauntingly beautiful and very spiritual.
Medieval Gregorian chants are hauntingly beautiful- especially if performed in a cathedral with the appropriate echoes. I like The Anonymous Four...a quartet of women who perform Gregorian chants.
+1 to Renaissance music as well.Last edited by BleeckerSt_Girl; 11-18-2008 at 08:44 AM.

Me, too! I love Byrd's Fantasias for viols. One of the rare times I miss playing.

About six years ago, I devoted a year to playing nothing but the Bach cello suites. It got me playing again, after many years. Now I need to get back to it so I've taken out my cello and like a sad puppy, it's staring at me mournfully. Originally Posted by SadieKate

I solved it by giving all my viols to my dad. Originally Posted by tulip

Bacchanale by Saint-Saens. I have played this in several different venues and ensembles, and each one holds so many memories for me. I love the music for what it is, but it's the memories that make it poignant.
I'm sure that there's others.....
