Analyst 4,341 Posted March 21, 2007 Vangelis - Blade Runner BluesBright Eyes - It's cool, we can still be friends Cursive - The Radiator Hums Christian Death - Romeo's Distress The Pixies - Where is my Mind? Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings Good call on the Samuel Barber piece...which was used heavily in Oliver Stone's Platoon...very moving, emotional piece I would also recommend (these are kinda classical's most requested hits): Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (First Movement) Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor (posthumous) and probably all his other Nocturnes, too Mahler's Adagietta (Fourth Movement) from Symphony #5 Holst's 'Saturn' and 'Venus' Movements from the Planets Dvorak's Second Movement from Symphony #9 (The New World) Saint Saen's The Swan from the Carnival of the Animals (the cello cries over flowing water-like arpeggios played by a piano) There are so many more pieces that could be listed here...... Also the entire Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz, which expresses the drug-induced journey to hell lamenting his unrequited love to an actess (that he later married). Another less known contempory piece that is also excellent would be Gorecki's Symphony #3 (Sorrowful Songs) that reflects a Polish mother crying for her dead son and a poem inscribed in a Gestapo prison during WWII. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
