Re: things of sad beauty

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

This list could surely go on and on...for instrumental music, I find 
Metheny's "Secret Story" album to be tremendously moving and sad, 
starting about halfway thru. I love it, but can only rarely handle it. 
Same with Nels Cline's "Slipped Away", the last piece on his 
"Instrumentals". And I literally can't listen to Barber's "Adagio for 
Strings" which other people mentioned; beautiful piece, but it kills me. 
I hate that it's used indiscriminately in film.
