<p>It’s a great list - so interesting to see the variety of music that elicits chills. A recording that does it for me on almost every track is Judy Garland’s legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concert. For me, the chills come from a combination of her sheer musical genius, her abilities as an actress in each song, and the historical perspective. She had been discounted by Hollywood and was considered a has-been, then came roaring back in the most incredible way. It was probably her greatest personal triumph, so knowing that increases the chills for me.</p>
<p>missypie try this one instead of Amazing Grace<br>
Slow Air (Going Home) - Royal Scots Dragoon Guards</p>
<p>So many great ones here. I’m going to limit myself to ones I haven’t seen yet:</p>
<p>Paul Simon, Graceland, pretty much the whole first side, but certainly the bass line on “Boy In The Bubble” and all of “Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes”</p>
<p>Wagner, Das Rheingold, the first scene, including the Rhinemaidens’ songs, through their teasing of Albericht</p>
<p>Juana Molina, Son, “Micael” (I think there is good YouTube of this)</p>
<p>Lots of versions of “Dark Star -> St. Stephen”</p>
<p>John Lee Hooker, “Burning Hell”, with Alan Wilson on Hooker ‘n’ Heat</p>
<p>Robert Johnson, “Hellhound On My Trail”</p>
<p>Wilco, “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot </p>
<p>Mahler, “Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde” from Das Lied von der Erde I’m not wedded to any single version, but the one I listened to for 30 years was Eugene Ormandy with Richard Lewis singing</p>
<p>Some of my favorite karaoke moments include:</p>
<p>You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker</p>
<p>Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker</p>
<p>San Francisco - Tony Bennett</p>
<p>There is a grammy winning LP by Shirley Horn called Here’s to Life. Check it out!</p>
<p>jhs—YOU BEAT ME TO IT.</p>
<p>Das Lied von der Erde—Mahler</p>
<p>D sang selections of this with the Phil this year. The dvd recording scored her a gig in Europe this summer.</p>
<p>Ooops! I forgot probably my most appropriate one for this forum: the Whiffenpoofs singing “Time After Time”. Not the Eric Hyman/Cyndi Lauper song (although that’s pretty great, too), but some pre-Tin Pan Alley waltz, with a 4/4 midsection.</p>
<p>
It doesn’t exactly give me chills, but for some reason I am totally addicted to “Heavy Metal Drummer” from that album. I never listen to it just once. (And my younger son loves it too.)</p>
<p>And in a totally different vein. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin gives me chills. I have the Dietrich Fischer Dieskau recording, but a musicoligist friend of the families used to argue with me that someone else was better. I only have it on cassette, and had forgotten all about it. I listened to it all the time in college.</p>
<p>k.d. lang “Barefoot” from the movie “Salmonberries.”</p>
<p>Old Man River–William Warfield</p>
<p>Art Garfunkel introducing as a new song and then singing Paul Simon’s genius “Bridge Over Troubled Water” on their Live 1969 album. There is a moment of stunned silence before the audience breaks out in joy. I like this version better than the studio one - Art’s voice just seems to be carried by the angels out over the audience members who all realize they are witnessing something they will never forget. I saw them in Central Park in 1981 and even then was stunned at the ease with which he sang this - hands in his jeans just leaning into the microphone like it was no big deal. Amazing!</p>
<p>I agree with many listed here. I would ad Fanfare to the Common Man by Copeland, especially if you know what it was written for, a call to arms in WW2.</p>

<p>Chopin Nocturne Op 27 No. 2 D Flat Major
Chopin Waltz Op 64. No 2. in C Sharp Minor
(S’s favorites–love hearing him, or anyone, play these-- though I’ve heard them hundreds of times.)</p>
<p>The Seekers–“I’ll never find another you” (a friend was asked to sing this at a funeral, and she did!)</p>
<p>A very recent one–“It Happened Today” from the newest REM album. I have actually listened to it over and over for hours (only when no one ele is home, of course.) Eddie Vedder’s cameo appearance on it is sublime.</p>
<p>“My Old Kentucky Home” First Saturday in May, sniff.</p>
<p>“Run for the Roses” Dan Fogelberg</p>
