I know there are others, but only one is coming to me now.
John Corigliano's Cantata 'OF Rage and Rememberence' makes me burst into tears when it reaches the end. The aleotory part whee the choir is able to intone the names of loved ones that they lost is so eerily heartbreaking... and when the boy soprano sings the opening to the 23 Psalm in Hebrew, gah, I'm a goner.
If you hear nothing else of Corigliano, you owe it to yourself to hear this piece. It's a real tear jerker. That and unearthly beautiful.
