someone mentioned Beethoven's 9th........... i agree
After giving this some thought, my vote today might go to Satie's Gnossienne No. 1. There is definitely longer, crazier, denser, more intense, etc etc but there is a magical quality to this piece that is indescribable. It's stunningly gorgeous yet evokes an air of mystery and darkness, maybe even a hint of mischief. One single note in the melodic line (the tritone or #11) has such a profound effect. It also reminds me of the picturesque Burgundy region since I was spinning this there when we on our honeymoon in 2004. The perfect piece of music in my view.

Love that old chestnut...haven't seen it in a while.
I especially like the "Optional: 12th century lute".

'gradually become agitated' gets me for some reason.
Erik Satie was known for his strange "Performance Indications",used in lieu of standard dynamics on his scores.such as.....
"Dry as a cuckoo"
"Under the pomegranates"
"With tears in your fingers"
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
Indeed.Satie was a pioneer in several areas,(apparently) the first to use prepared piano,by slipping sheets of paper between the strings(Le Piege de Meduse);in his use of total chromaticism(Vexations);some call Satie the first minimalist(Gymnopedies);he's also credited with first use of co-ordinated film score and music(Entr'acte)......

^^ Was that Ron Geesin's score for "Atom Heart Mother"?

Fuckin' lunatic! You gotta love this guy.
Eric Satie on Vexations: "In order to play the theme 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities." (Pour se jouer 840 fois de suite ce motif, il sera bon de se préparer au préalable, et dans le plus grand silence, par des immobilités sérieuses).
Your wish is my command:
