For soft and/or emotional pieces, try:
- Adagio in G minor by Tomaso Albinoni
- Sanctus from the Requiem by Durufle (Robert Shaw Chorale version...be careful, the high point might harm speakers if turned up too loud)
- Thais: Meditation by Jules Massenet
- Prelude in D Flat Major (Raindrop) by Chopin
- Claire De Lune, by Debussy (There's a great solo harp version out somewhere)
- Consolation No. 3 D flat minor by Liszt
- Libestraum No. 3 A flat major by Liszt
- Sonanta No. 14 in C sharp minor, first movement "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven (One of my all time favorites)
- Ave Maria by Franz Schubert
- Fantasy No. 2 in D Minor by Mozart
- Bogoroditse Devo by Rachmaninoff (Again, I prefer the Robert Shaw Chorale version of this one)
And if you want to get adventurous and try some opera...
- Vissi D'Arte from Tosca by Puccini
- Un bel di from Madam Butterfly by Puccini
Sorry, but that's all I can come up with at the moment. Hope that helps.
