Oh and with regard to classical music, some of the most poignant arias I know are Pamina's "Ach, ich fühl' es, es ist verschwunden" from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte and the Martern aller Arten aria from Die Entführung aus dem Serail.
Oh, and the short coloratura from Carmina Burana: Dulcissime! Totam tibi subdo me... (Sweetest one! Ah! I give myself to you totally) followed by "Ave Formosissima":

Ave formosissima!
Gemma pretiosa
Ave decus virginum
Virgo gloriosa
Ave mundi luminar
Ave mundi rosa
Blanziflor et Helena
Blanziflor et Helena
Venus generosa!

(trans: Hail, most beautiful one,
precious jewel,
Hail, pride among virgins,
glorious virgin,
Hail. light of the world,
Hail, rose of the world,
Blanchefleur and Helen,
noble Venus!)
