Chances are high you know Samuel Barber's beautiful classical piece Adagio for Strings. It has been used in several films, including Platoon.

But not as many people know that there's also a choral variation, called Agnus Dei. Personally, I think that's even more beautiful. Listening to it always gives me goosebumps. Turn up the volume, close your eyes and enjoy...

@metin Very nice!
My personal favourite choral piece is Allegri's Miserere mei:

@mbt3d @metin Thanks for sharing these beautiful chorals.

I was just about to share Allegri‘s „Miserere mei, Deus“ when Mark already did that job. I used an 11-minute-version of that choral for a theatre play I wrote several years ago and it still brings back vibrant memories.

Personally, I also love John Tavener‘s „Funeral Ikos“.

@Shkspr80 @mbt3d Listened to both of your tips from start to end, beautiful indeed. ❤

I also love this performance of Ave Maria that's used in the Donnie Darko film:
