Passacaglia

Since a baby, I already heard several thousands of music and songs. From pop, rock, metal rock, progressive, soul, classic, standard, jazz, acid jazz, experimental, gospel songs and other kinds or forms not mentioned here. For over a decade, I realized that there is only one kind of music that soothes both my heart and soul. I love to listen to something smooth, melodic, and rythmical, something that can make my soul cry.

Today, I found the right term that describes one kind of music that I really love. It's Passacaglia. Thanks to Secret Garden, because of them I discovered the term to call this form of music, especially those with modern twist.

Here are some examples of Passacaglia:

1. G.F. Handel - not heart breaking though, but still I love it.
2. Battlestar Galactica Theme Song
3. Johann Sebastian Bach
4. Handel-Halvorsen - I love this variation and this.
5. And this music by Secret Garden is perfect.

Also, aside from passacaglia, I think I am also considering Adagios in my list, just like the Adagio by Secret Garden.
