I'm just curious what other composers or pieces have this effect on other people. For me it is almost anything by Ravel.

My all time favorite, if it's played right, is Chopin's Etude in E Major. I love the opening and the intense middle section. A lot of emotion in that piece. Also Debussy's Pavane For a Dead Princess. Those two always bring a tear to my eye. I get goosebumps right now just thinking about the Chopin.

well I know I'm over qualified for this answer (live in a desert and we have 110 degree weather almost daily for nearly 3 months) .... It has to be piece AND a performance it doesn't work any other way Eleanor Steber singing Knoxville Summer of 1915, any performance of Turandot as long as Birgit Nielsson is singing (at least when she is singing)

Just about any composition I know and recgonize by John Williams, Beethoven (particulary the 5th Symphony, Fur Elise, Ode to Joy, and the Moonlight Sonata), Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and Mozart's Eine Kleine Nacthmusik. Oh and this is going to probabkly sound a little strange not to mention a little macbre and grusome, but also Chopin's Marche Funebre (the Funeral March). I can't really explain it, I mean I know what it's normally used for and I use it for Halloween atmosphere music. But to me it's a very beautiful, lonely piece that sounds like it could be a rather slow waltz.

100* day? Indian music, morning ragas ....they are designed to give you goosebumps to start the day right... they cool down the steamy morning mists of India .... the evening ragas are to cool you down for the hot Indian nights ....
then: Handel ~ love the sound of the Handelian trumpets ..and the strings are so beautiful ...
and J.S. Bach ~ I find him warm, but that is ok ... I think that if left with one composer's music for listening, I would go with Bach .... I don't tire of his music and there is a lot of it to choose from

For me the opening of Brahms 1st symphony, and its second mvt. The second mvt of his 3rd symphony as well.The second mvt to Beethoven's 3rd and 7th symphonies. And Mozart's Jupiter -- all of it.
I like toutvas bien's selection, esp. the Barber -- Gorgeous work.
A note to knight1192a: Waltzes are in 3. The Chopin Funeral March (from the 2nd Piano Sonata) is, as the title says, a march -- in 2. Couldn't ever be mistaken for a waltz.
Why don't you listen to Chopin's beautiful Waltz in a minor op. 34 #2 -- I think you will like it.

Goosebumps eh? How about Tchaikovsky's music for his ballet Swan Lake? The Suite will suit you just fine!

I love most of the pieces people before me have mentioned, but for pure goose-bumpedliness, Holst's "Mars" (from "The Planets") takes the prize, in my book.
