Steve, I am at a loss to work out why a malevolent power would be forcing you to choose your fave cm piece. Surely that malevolent power's priority to-do list would be a little more universal than putting you on the spot over your cm preferences. LOL

However, Rhapsody in Blue is definitely a good top choice, in my opinion.

After re-reading this thread a couple of days ago, I hunted out the Music of the Renaissance CD early in the thread. I am blessed with a job which requires repetitive processing work on a computer. The blessing is that I can sit and listen to my mp3 player all day at work. My original mp3 died a few years ago and I had to set up the music on a new one through different software, and I forgot to put the Renaissance CD on the new one. I listened to it again yesterday.

It is beautiful. Some of the music is a bit gloomy, but still beautiful.
