Music for the soul
If you've not discovered Berlioz yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mek_f_5vno
Edited: to fix broken links"As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye."

Re: Music for the soul
Can't beat the master, though. Lachrymosa.
We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

This is truly splendiferous piece... if you're lost for words Sibelius says it for you."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

Just listened to this on Fiona Talkington's request show:
May I recommend the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo to go with this Sir?"As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

George Butterworth, MC
Died 5 August 1916... so no guesses for where this English genius was lost to the world."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

Re: Music for the soul
To add, George was a mere 31 years; not young in soldiering terms but when you listen to this piece... well! :(

Or Acker Bilk playing 'Burgundy Sreeet' in his own style (not copying George Lewis as every other clarinet player tries, but fails, to do)
