Elgar is such a present to us all. His music can be so sweeping. Holst as well has had so many of his themes eke their way into our modern culture we don't even know half the time where they came from

Pieces like this, Nimrod, are better listened to with no video, the video elicits impressions and drags the pull of the music along the lines laid out by the video. I"m not saying that video destroys the music, just that there are different levels of effect the music can have.

I was completely moved by the opening space scene in ''Space Odyssey'' with the space station floating floating floating and the music of Also Sprach Zarathustra , what a freeking combo...

A bit of a change for music that ''moves you '' from Elgar and Holst is the music of modern composer Mason Bates. A bit different in style, here is a short one by him. Ford's Farm

Try listening to this one first with you eyes closed and let the music pull you into numerous surprises

Very moving piece of music.

I've never been a fan of Opera, but I love this particular piece and singer. I think I first heard it in The Man who Cried.



And this (music starts at 1:30):

Once upon a melody by Jason Becker. Jason was a metal / rock guitar prodigy who was set to become a legend (he still did) but was struck down with ALS and has been paralysed and unable to speak, move etc. He still comooses usibg his eyes.
This is one of his latest and at 4.00 we can hear Jason's incredible playing (from before he became ill).

Watched the phantom of the opera in London around 4 years ago. Great stuff. Apart from the incredibly narrow and hard seat's in the old opera house lol. Think I'll take my own cushion next time!😃

love these guys

Fantastic song, really gets the hairs standing on end. And it's not usually something I listen to as a metal head!

Did you know that Black Sabbath, from Black Sabbath, is based upon three notes from Holst's Mars, The Bringer Of War?

If you listen you can hear it, it's pretty obvious once you know it.

This blows my mind, on the big horn speakers!
Agnus Dei

Steve Wilson/Porcupine Tree

This just gave me some goosebumps
