"The most POWERFUL piece of music you have ever heard?"

What music do you find exceptionally powerful in an emotionally moving way? just a little topic I was wondering about when watching Revenge of the Sith last week.

I would have to say the most powerful and inspirational piece I have ever heard would be 'Duel of the Fates' from star wars episode 1:The phantom menace but I think it features in all of the new films. I'm sure its the echoeing choral element that sets it apart from other film tracks. I'd say 'Duel of the Fates' is closely followed by Rob Dougan's 'Chateau' from The matrix reloaded and 'In a heartbeat' by In da house from 28 days later.

what do you think? is there any music from the commercial sector that you find particularly powerful?

Oh ... I see.

Seriously, just not interested in footy.

Rumbled! Although I trimmed them by about two thirds.

You phillistine?! What's wrong with you? Are you gay? You're gay if you don't like football. Football is for none-gay people? What do you mean you didn't watch it? Are you stupid?!

Haha! ;) J/K

'Nessun Dorma', indeed. So yes... well remembered, SMV.

I was old enough but didn't watch it.
