I dont' cry, I just get mega-depressed.
Work like that:
-Aerith's theme from Final Fantasy VII (There may be extra-musical associations with that)
-Hohner by David Maslanka. Robert Hohner was my instructors instructor, and I guess he was a really amazing guy, and a really amazing teacher. When he suddenly passed away at an early age, Maslanka wrote this piece for him, as a sort of requiem (apparently they were really good friends.) Last year when we hosted our chapter's PAS event, we performed that piece. However, what made it truly special was the ngiht before the performance we had a dress rehearsal with the full setup, which included doubling and tripling the marimba and vibe parts with students from other colleges. It was a wonderful sound, but there is one moment in the piece, when everyone hits this big C Major chord after all this chromatic business, that really got to me, especially with all the people there.
-That Was the Worst Christmas Ever! by Sufjan Stevens. A very bittersweet, very beautiful song.
