Classical Goosebumps

A friend pointed me to this the other day. I have no idea what UEFA is or the provenance of the composition, but I rather liked it.

That piece uses The Priest of Zadoc as its inspiration.

Yes, you can tell that it's inspired by Handel's Zadok the Priest.

If I could recommend one piece it would be Ghershwins 'Rhapsody in blue' when the piano drops off and the wall of strings and solo clarinet begins ~ 10:40 it gives me the bumps .... Rhapsody In Blue: Gershwin: https://youtu.be/ynEOo28lsbc

That's the first one that came to mind when I started reading this thread.

(Parts of) Mozart's Requiem are on my list too - I really like how his Requiem is a thread through the movie Amadeus and I can never help but think Dart Vader meets Batman meets Mozart

RODRIGO -- CONCIERTO DE ARANJUEZ -- II Adagio: http://youtu.be/sZyZBS4INuc

Danse Macabre - St. Saens; and Song to the Moon from Rusalka - Dvorak, which in my mind inspired Somewhere over the Rainbow; the same plaintive chords, I think.

At the very top for me is the Romance from the 1st piano concerto from Chopin


After that, it depends on the mood. I love the only violin concerto Beethoven wrote:


Many of the Organ works by Bach are extremely beautiful. I remember being in the Sacre Coeur in Paris many years ago, when the organist was practicing a piece by Bach. I have sat there for over an hour listening and enjoying this unexpected concert.
