This is the most melancholic piece, no, the most profoundly sad, I’ve ever heard, and sublimely beautiful:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dPDO3Tfa…
This, used in countless films, TV programs, commercials, etc.,etc., the incomparably sad and beautiful “Liebestod”(Love-Death)from Richard Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde”; sung by one of the 20th century’s truly great voices, in an ancient but still listenable recording:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0dBDBaAk…
Second movement, Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony #-4″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN7oFdFqt…
One of Chopin’s melancholic preludes:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNUOIzCeS…
Lastly, a sad and hauntingly beautiful piece by Camille Saint-Saens:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRlIBtUMf…
