Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears

Well it’s that time of the year and is there anything more lovely than Waltz of the Snowflakes final scene Act 1 of ThE Nutcracker?

Yes, JC was the man in terms of being able to extract and deliver meaning that touches many out of most any song he could relate to in various ways and there were many. Love listening to Johnny sing gospel music because you can just feel the meaning it had to him and that carries right on over to the listener.

"Epilogue" from Les Miserable does it every time and I suspect I am not alone.

"Sunrise Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof......never fails!

King Crimson is all about getting, holding then driving home a vice grip on the senses but never quite reach the point of tears with KC generally. Saw their last US performance on 9/11/2021 at The Anthem in DC (now available on CD) and it was quite an experience! Most gripping and often delving into beautiful but with a touch of irony usually. Take the tune "Epitaph". Beautiful musically but nothing beautiful about the subject material.
