In this topic, you put those moments in music that make you shiver, shout, cry, or yell. Note that this is "moments." "The entire last movement of Beethoven's 9th" is not a moment.
So, off the top of my head, I'll start it off.
In the second movement of Beethoven's 3rd piano concerto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YlU-z066Mc&feature=related
1:05 is glorious when the key changes like that. Suddenly gets all full after the two grace note things. It's like a pool of hope. Shut up about the bad analogy.
Again in the 4th movements of Beethoven's 9th. When the choir bursts in after the exhausting double fugue. More later, I have to go.
What's yours?
A wonderful, yet in my view, superfluous thread.
this is a meant to be discussed in the Classical discussion thread...but seeing as how few people navigate to this side of the forum it seems otherwise.
Who the fuck are you to say what should be discussed where? That made you sound so pretentious. Jesus fuck.
Anyway, I really like any focus on the oboes in Holst's Jupiter of the Planets. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, you know?
oh god..... where should I start? :o
so many songs...so many parts in those songs.....its just too long of a list....haha :D
This could include pop music as well. I had a few examples in mind, but can't recall them at the moment.
Okay, just listened to Jupiter for the first time. Koji Kondo totally ripped the Song of Storms from that. Anyway, definitely an amazing piece. Can't say I agree with you about the oboes in general though. *shrug*

It was very quiet part. I'm not sure. And I'm going to have to go listen to the Song of Storms now to see if it's similar. To be honest I've never heard the Song of Storms.
Edit: It's not on the site, do you know where I could find a Mid or Mp3?

Search for "Windmill hut."
Don't know why I didn't include include this in the first post.
One word: vincero. Yes, I am referring to the ending of Nessun Dorma. Epic.
There are millions of perfect moments in the history of music. Take Beethoven's 9th symphony, or Mozart's 40th Symphony or Super Mario Bros. by Koji Kondo. Unfortunately I don't have a favourite "moment".

It is on the site. It's called 'Windmill' and is under the Zelda: OoT section.
Well sorry, I guess I don't know the other name for "song of storms". I've never played all the way through OoT.
GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW
But yeah, you learn the Song of Storms in a Windmill, so...
I love Baba O'Riley by The Who. When Roger Daltrey first comes in, it's so righteous that it can bring tears to my eyes.
For me, different catagories of music have different moments of perfection.
In pop, the chorus of Leave Me Alone by Micheal Jackson is a perfect moment.
Wayyy too many to keep track.
One of my personal favorites is the climax of Eric Whitacre's "Lux Arumque" :) Ohio State Band did the song for a concert once, i'll see if i can't pull it up :P
Here it is :) It's just an all-around gorgeous piece, but my favorite part is right around 1:50 :)

I <3 Eric Whitacre. Have you heard October? We played that last year in Symphonic. Shit was awesome and was also a song that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
I feel the best moment was when I performed Ticheli's snactuary in a concert for GHYWE (Greater Hartford Youth Wind Ensemble). It was my first concert in a high quality ban and about halfway through the song there was a giant crescendo. The Tuba was like the last intrument to come in and when we came in that moment sent shivers down my spine. That was the one moment that really epitimizes what music is all about to me.
