Although I have never actually had tears stream down my face as a result of any music, music does move me very deeply sometimes. Some of the pieces that have done this to me before are:

Barber's Adagio for Strings
Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, West Side Story (Somewhere)
Shore's Lord of the Rings (The Grey Havens, Forth Eorlingas, The White Tree)
Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus
Kamen's Band of Brothers (Main Theme, Austria)
Verdi's Requiem
Puccini's Tourandot
Steiner's Gone with the Wind (Main Title/Tara's Theme)
Newman's Cinderella Man (The Inside Out, Cinderella Man)
Grieg's Holberg Suite (Air), Peer Gynt Suite (Ase's Death)
Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess
Whelan's Riverdance (Caoineadh Cú Chulainn)
Morricone's The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe, Te Deum Guarani), Once Upon a Time in America (Deborah's Theme), Once Upon a Time in the West (Main Theme)
Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto (2nd Movement)
Horner's Apollo 13 (Main Title, The Launch, Splashdown)
Howard's The Village
Mozart's Requiem
Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana (Intermezzo)
Dvork's New World Symphony (Largo)

Mozart - clarinet concerto (2nd mvt)
Chopin - nocturne in Db
Bach - air on G
Schumann - piano concerto (2nd mvt)

its usually one or two really powerful chords that immediately brings tears to my eyes, and after those chords, my eyes dry up immediately. =.="

Mozart's Requiem (Lacrimosa mainly)
Chopin's ''Raindrop'' prelude in D-Flat Major
Puccini's ''Nessun Dorma'' from Turandot
Handel's ''Lascia Ch'io Pianga'' from Rinaldo

And I think that's about it really

I hate to say it, but the only music that ever made me teary was the score to The Land Before Time! However I have a feeling the tears have more todo with my memory of the film itself than the music! (It's a very sad film, his mother dies..!)

The piece that gives me the most energy (as opposed to outright sadness) however, would quite possibly be Nessun Dorma from Turandot, as mentioned above. I have not yet been moved to tears by my own music, but I fully expect that if it got played by a live orchestra I probably would be.
