Howard Shore's score for Lord of the Rings. I have no idea why it moves me so much, but it's definitely awe-inspiring.

Music by stevie wonder. he continues to inspire me and many others in the way of being a really great performer, as well as having great and interesting songs. eg when he sung with Baby Face - "how come how long" the song was able to put a greater perspective on the great man that he was caring about someone enough to put the one that hurt the particular person he was talkin about away. the best part is that he is very multi-talented and he was blind since the day he was born.

Gabriel Faure's "Requiem"
Faure composed the piece differently from traditonal Requiem Mass music in that he left out a lot of the "eternal punishment fear" text and concentrated on the aspects of love and peace. He also pushed the questions that many people have for God and about the afterlife after the death of a loved one to the forefront of the piece.
An emotional rollercoaster ride without the fire and brimstone ending in peace and acceptance... Wonderful piece of music.
Quoting Faure himself:
"It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience. The music of Gounod has been criticized for its overinclination towards human tenderness. But his nature predisposed him to feel this way: religious emotion took this form inside him. Is it not necessary to accept the artist's nature? As to my Requiem, perhaps I have also instinctively sought to escape from what is thought right and proper, after all the years of accompanying burial services on the organ! I know it all by heart. I wanted to write something different."
