Transitional moments in music: set pieces (the Meistersinger quintet, Protegga il giusto cielo, Soave sia il vento), music for choirs (the choral "We wander by music's power through darkest night" and "Triumph", the Bergman hell-scape in mind since I first saw it, all of Mendelssohn's, Brahms' and Strauss's songs for unaccompanied voices, male and female choirs), Wagner's "In the greenhouse," Yvonne Keeley singing "If I Had Words," the Misfits' "Hybrid Moments," Lenten hymns, the last movement of the Eroica, between the fugue and the G minor variation. Other things that aren't coming to mind.
Recently, my mom called me up and sent a photo of my 14-year-old cousin, who needs a heart transplant and has been in the hospital since December. Hadn't seen her face since '07, and started breaking down, looking at the photo.
