what is the most haunting piece of music you have ever heard, and why?

[rnchugg]

what is the most haunting piece of music you have ever heard? for me it has to be Enya's - Smaointe. The Uillean Pipes playing leaves thoughts of mist rising above a cold lake! best way to relax, a glass of wine, a hot bath and this playing!

[zzxxee]

from the movie braveheart a piece called "for the love of a princess" and i dont mean the dance track version
or fields of athernrye by the dubliners

[echokilo]

I would have said something very similar ... perhaps Flight of the Condor on panpipes?

Off the top of my head, ''An Ending (Ascent)'' - Brian Eno:

Here is the panpipes Condor track:

and for pure orchestral genius, it has to be this from The Mission:

Zimmer of course Snags! One of my favourites. He did one called 'Opera' in one of the Hannibal Movies....great but he gets a bit repetitive.......e.g. Mission Impossible...some good stuff there as well.
