Classical to chill to

[Graham]

...and on the more cheerful side...

 

YouTube - Elgar. Nimrod.

 

That to me is the ultimate homesick music. Used to play it the heat of central Spain when it all became too much.

Or for real feeling and earthiness;

Barber's Adagio, played in the Albert Hall at the Proms as a tribute after 9/11 only a couple of days after the event. Made me shed a tear.

mick how about gabriel's oboe from The Mission- cracking piece of music. I found a piece of music which sums up war even better than barber's adagio for strings- Sergeant Mackenzie which appears in When we were soldiers. i defy anybody not to have the hairs on the back of their neck standing on end.

 

I murder Gabriel's Oboe from time to time

 

This is one of my faves:

not classical in the true sense of the word but, and i'm sure any of the lads on here who are ex-forces will agree, Highland Cathedral always seems to attract that gust of wind that blows a bit of grit into your eye especially when it's played by a lone piper and military band.

This film and the music always makes my hair stand on end.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDlKrZmECK0&feature=related]YouTube - Schindlers Liste Video[/ame]
