Have you heard On a Hymsong of Phillip Bliss? It's a wondefully written piece of music. The story behind it is that in the late 1700's, or early 1800's, a wealthy man sent his wife and daughter on a ship to sail to America. However, the ship ran into a terrible storm on the way. The man was so heart broken, that he decided to compose a piece to remember and honor his wife and daugter. Thus, he wrote On a Hymnsong of Phillip Bliss.

Some others:
  • October by Eric Whitacre
  • Amazing Grace by Frank Techili
  • American Eligy by Frank Techili
  • Piano Concerto No.1 in Bb Min. by Misha Dichter
  • Water Night by Eric Whitacre
  • Cloud Burst by Eric Whitacre

Hope that helps!
