Classical music/songs that have an effect on you
 

What classical songs make you feel happy/sad/moved etc?

For me it has to be I Vow To Thee My Country:

I don't know why but it makes me feel really sad and calm. I think it makes me sad because my Mum loves it so much and I don't see her to often cause she lives in Dublin and I'm in london. :(

Have you got all night?

I'll post this as it doesn't quite count as "easy listening" which is where I've normally been posting videos. One of the great opera finales.

Plus anything Maria Callas sings seems to tug on the heart strings. I wish I knew what it was about her.

Yeah I guess I've got all night :)

Post away lol :laugh:

This is exactly what I was gonna write LOL

Cba to find videos, but a short-picked list for anyone into emotive classical:

Aaron Copland - Appalachian Spring
Claude DeBussy - Beau Soir
Edvard Grieg - The Last Spring
Giacomo Puccini - Madama Butterfly
Gustav Holst - Jupiter from the Planets Suite [This actually has "I vow to thee my country" in it, Me! :)]
Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Symphony #5 Movement 3
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Serenade to Music
Sir Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations

Really? I never knew lol. Might have to check that out. :spin:

I've never really been big on Opera, but her singing Madama Butterfly <3

Yeah, she was as good an actress as a singer too, gutted I never had the opportunity to see her live... or this guy.

This symphony always enters my head when I think of Dante or the Divine Comedy. Very eerie and otherworldly.
