0:58 to 1:25 in this. I adore choral music in general but this is just amazing.

What would the rest of you say is the single most beautiful music you can think of?
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Probably "Exit Music (For A Film)" transitioning into "Let Down" on Radiohead's Ok Computer

    I'd have to pick Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'

    "Are You There?" by Mono

    http://www.last.fm/music/Mono/You+Are+There

    note; album is "You Are There" - "Song is Are You There"
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    To this day I don't know what they are, could be horns or guitar, but it's when they come in on the line "I remember when I swore I knew everything" on In My Tree by Pearl Jam.

    Maybe the end of Hummer by Smashing Pumpkins, that guitar work is incredible - just what came to my head......

    Beatles--A Day in the Life. The piano at the end is the best album coda ever.

    R.E.M.'s Country Feedback is such a heartbreakingly beautiful song to me. I just love it, and most of the fans feel the same way.

    That does sent shivers up my spine. Beautiful music.
    I love also Phillip Glass - anything he writes, is sheer intensity, soul moving and music in its finest.

    Patriarch Blues by Victor Krummenacher has plenty of fine moment - Lay This Body Down, Paradise and the jazz/blues take on W.H. Auden's poem 'Stop All the Clocks' is heaven.
    Never heard anything so moving since Peter Stalker's jazzed up tunes of William Blake's poetry.

    Starting at 1:40, they hit a groove and for the next several minutes it's just perfect.

    Off the top of my head

    The entire song "Muzzle of Bees" by Wilco, especially the ending flourish.

    "Heathens" by Drive By Truckers, when Patterson sings "it just gets so hard to keep between the ditches, when the roads wind the way they doooooooo"

    Another DBT song, "World of Hurt"....."it ain't too late to take a deep breath and throw yourself into it with everything you got.....It's Great to Be Alive" and then the coda

    Outro solo on All or None

    Long outro on Present Tense

    I'll stop now......Damn I love music
    I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

    The end of Lord, I'm Discouraged, by the Hold Steady. A whole song about a girl you love from afar being sucked into addiction, and then the last chorus...

    "Excuses and half truths, and fortified wine,
    I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine,
    So I mostly just pray she don't die."
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
