"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?

I swear Rufus wainwright sings that.

I am glad to see someone else had Chateau by Rob Dougan. Anyone who hasnt heard the track download it because it is truly incredible! A mic of classic strings and fast paced techno. sheer brilliance.

Leonard Cohen wrote it, Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright both covered it :)

Or they could buy it. Now, there's a novelty!

Ha! I tried to buy 'the physical' track as it is on the matrix soundtrack cd however I struggled to find it and so bought it from Itunes instead. Therefore buying and downloading are in the same context...

But, it's not in the iTunes Music Store.
