"Non Nobis Domine"
The first time I heard this was in the film Henry V, and it is hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time.
The song is very old... (Description stolen from Wikipedia) "It is a short Latin hymn used as a prayer of thanksgiving and expression of humility. The Latin text derives from Psalm 113:9 (according to the Vulgate numbering), which corresponds to Psalm 115:1 in the King James Version."
Have a listen...you'll have to watch part of the film for a bit before the music kicks in, but it's soooo worth it.

Memory from the Broadway show CATS. Its always beautiful no matter who sings it or if it is only an instrumental piece. It is Hauntingly beautiful when played by flute.

Too many to name, but a few come to mind:
Distant Hills - Ralph Towner (ok, an instrumental, but still haunting)
Brise De Coeur - John McLaughlin (same as above)
Bring Him Home - La Miserables sound track (poignant, especially today)
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings (arranged for choir - unbelievably beautiful) -
Bellini's Ma rendi pur contento - sung by Cecelia Bartoli
