Lot's of civil war songs, but in particular, "The Vacant Chair". I get real choked up on that one. Plus, it has a wonderful melody.

Then there is the "Kindertotenlieder" by Mahler which means Children's Death Songs. Written when it was all to common for one or more children in a family to die from illness, the songs talk about missing the little footsteps and such. I can't listen to them.

Ah, Rick. Madama Butterfly. Of course, always touching.
