The Joy of Music [View all]

I know I could have called this "Religious Music" but I am thinking more about what music brings you that kind of "religious experience" of joy?

The first piece to come to mind is Beethoven's 9th, "Ode to Joy." Every time I hear it, I'm brought to tears (of joy.)

So, what pieces does it for y'all? No need to limit oneself to classical only, either. I've been listening to a huge amount of Bill Nelson lately, and some of his cuts cause me to stop whatever I'm doing and just listen, feeling the emotion and his joy within the composition
