    Beethoven - Symphony 7 - Allegreto A major Op 92



    I can vaguely recall (I could well be wrong) that Alison said that this once moved her greatly,

    Orff - Camina Burana



    This is beautiful too.

    Tavener - Song of Athene

    That is gorgeous..
    I have loved this since I heard it in Fantasia as a child. There is something about how it gets beyond itself with its overblown(ness) at the climax that is just wonderful (although I cannot find the version I have where it REALLY does that at the end)

    Try a Russian or eastern European symphony orchestra.

    Well happy with this so far and some great, great choices - thanks for not letting such a potentially niche thread die, folks :)

    Ralph Vaughan Williams did "The Lark Ascending", Bells!

    And also the utterly beautiful Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.

    I keep bumping into Tallis due to my utter fandom of Arvo Pärt. Now here he is again.

    Really going to have to investigate!

    My sister came into this at her wedding and the organist had been on holiday and ruined it   :(  Maybe it was a sign for the marriage as it turned out!

    Gorgeous piece. (when it is played properly)

    Heavenly voices from afar:
    The angelic salutation of the Larks.
    How softly you nudge my Soul
    With your rousing exaltation!
    I close my eyes lightly;
    And there pass memories
    Of gentle Evenings
    Infused with the breath of Spring.
