   Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings – hands down.

   No other lyrical (not with lyrics) piece has more pure sorrow than this.

   It was played by the BBC America Orchestra four days after 9/11. (as a memorial)

   You know there is NO SUCH thing as an "instrumental song." By definition a song has lyrics… or WORDS.
   The Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber is a good, but perhaps overused example.

   A great piece is "Pavane", by Gabriel Faure. It is a song about the death of a princess.
