Most beautiful piece of music in a movie


I was listening to favorites this evening at dinner and I have several, but I think the most beautiful piece ever composed for a movie has to be Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission. If heaven has a sound, it has to be that.

Other favorites are the themes from Legends of the Fall and Out of Africa.

What do you think is the most beautiful or stirring movie theme?
