Subject: RE: ASMR - Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response
I experience physical sensations from a lot of musical pieces, usually when I'm not anticipating it-

The Hebrew melody from Smetana's Moldau.
When Planxty transitions from The Blacksmith to "Black Smithereens" on the Black album. Gives me chills.
At the first note of Jimi Hendrix' guitar solo on Little Wing from the live album Hendrix in the West.
The vocal duo by Tony and Maria that introduces Tonight from West Side Story. Talk about tension and release, the song seems almost anticlimactic after it.
Also from WSS when the entire ensemble joins in on on Tonight at the end of the first act. What a moment.
The final stage of Chopin's Barrcarole.
O Mio Babbino Caro from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, either orchestral or vocal.
The crescendo at the beginning of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe Suite.
And lots more.
