Please note:
All beauty is subjective. There is no such thing as a true "Top Ten" list. Each piece holds its own beauty and is neither better nor worse than others. Also, unless it has singing, it is not technically a song. The title of this video is merely meant to help an average person find it, so that beautiful music, and the incredible depth of beauty that comes with it, will be discovered and felt by more people. Also, I have no control over the ads. Google places them because the video has copyright claims. Lastly, for those of you who really want to hear more music like this, I recommend this website (I have no affiliation):

They have a list of 100s of famous pieces of classical music like the ones found in this video. Pieces you've heard before but never knew the names of, as well as pieces you haven't heard before but greatly enjoy.
