[TheVrolok]

It doesn't get any sadder than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Came to post this.

:thumbsup:

I like this version as well. I think it adds a great sense of determination in the face of the sadness portrayed in the original.

While it will always and ever be the simple elegiac strains of Taps for me, I dare any of you to listen to this song and not be deeply, deeply moved:

Killkelly, Ireland

 

[Ichinisan]

Road to Perdition movie score.

 

[911paramedic]

Taps. Hands down.

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Born on the Fourth of July score. Just kicks my ass.

[PrinceofWands]

Moonlight Sonata

This.

 

[Ichinisan]

Moonlight Sonata

Would have been my second choice. While it sounds "sad" to me, it's also overwhelmingly pleasing to listen to.

I agree with "Taps".
And if you don't think so wait until a man in a military uniform with a shiny brass bugle plays it at your father's burial.
