Has music that wasn't even sad ever triggered a tearful or otherwise emotional response?

I don’t know why, but I react strongly sometimes to the finales of epic classical music; sometimes it just makes me feel like I’m going to cry, not in a sad way, just because it’s so ridiculously spectacular. Sometimes pieces I know that aren’t sad (not necessarily a finale) conjure up sentimental images in my mind and that’s part of the reason why that happens.

One such example of a piece that has done this to me multiple times (at the end of the piece) is Pines of Rome by Respighi. If you’ve ever seen Fantasia 2000, it’s the “flying whale song” (that’s what my friend called it…lol) and it’s just so grand…and it’s a piece of music about trees. For me, at the end I picture someone standing on top of a mountain looking down at all creation…lol…I don’t know, I’m weird like that.

This is the finale to Pines of Rome here: http://www.imeem.com/jukeboxmusic25/music/6bnleP1V/james-depreist-conductor-oregon-symphony-respighi-pines/

The Fantasia 2000 version is better, though. You should see me at the symphony when there’s epic music like that…my heart is beating a mile a minute…it’s actually kind of annoying and I really wish it didn’t happen, but oh well…
