Dolce et decorum est pro patria mori and all that. Anyway, this one encapsulates all those feelings, I generally end up watching The Battle of Long Tan after I listen to this.

2. Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Winter, in particular the second movement, which I chose for my mrs to walk down the aisle to. It's an incredibly calming piece of music.
This particular version is in my opinion the best one to be found on youtube.

3. Ben Webster accompanied by Teddy Wilson - Honoring Our Elders
If you watch this clip (I believe it was filmed in Copenhagen but don't quote me) you'll see Webster in tears during Wilson's piano solo. The story goes that they had just heard of Johnny Hodges' (peer of Webster, Coltrane and Ellington) death by heart attack. In addition to Webster being one of the finest tenor sax players that ever lived, this song and accompanying clip get me every time, both from the incredible emotion in both sax and piano but also the back story. Incredible piece of music.

O'flynn's mentor, Seamus Ennis, had daughter and that's what they got together to do:
