Relatively recent in Classical Music terms - written for the last Coronation I believe. Wonder what the music for the next one will sound like?

Cant find a you tube or video but mine is Jupiter from HOLST Planet Suite I also like Ashogans Farewell played by the Royal Marines and as regards vocals I like Andre Bocelli and Sarah Brightman singing Time to ay Goodbye.

The most curious thing..
Mozart's requiem for me.
Couldn't get married to a requiem so we had Albinone's Addagio at our wedding.
All that said, how can anyone ever suggest that Vivaldi's Four Seasons isn't the most wonderful thing you ever heard in your life?
These are the 3 for me, but I just can't choose a pecking order.

Way too many to say one definitive piece but this is right up there for me.
John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine. Modern classical, it's the piece that most inspired Goldie when he was challenged to write a score for the Proms following Maestro.

A few corrections:-
It is the Ashokan Farewell,
Albinoni's Adagio (one 'd')
As for me - Shostakovich - "The Gadfly"

Debussy, expectation, trepidation, worry, hope, interspersed with moments of complete joy. A football fan's lament on a season in under five minutes.

Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSU8MDLJCVM - the most moving item I have ever heard on the internet. The Ashokan Farewell backs up the famous letter from Sullivan Ballou. Sort of puts things in context.....
