Chances are high you know Samuel Barber's beautiful classical piece Adagio for Strings. It has been used in several films, including Platoon.
But not as many people know that there's also a choral variation, called Agnus Dei. Personally, I think that's even more beautiful. Listening to it always gives me goosebumps. Turn up the volume, close your eyes and enjoy...

#HilaryHahn's performance of #SamuelBarber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14 (along with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Hugh Wolff) just reminds you why she is Hilary Hahn. Brilliant. #violin#violinist
