Charles Ives - Symphony No. 2
Could listen to this music all day. In this movement Ives synthesizes American folk music in a way Dvorak could've only dreamed of. (And there is certainly a bit of humor on Ives' part). Just wait until that final chord!

I have watched it at least 3 times, and will most likely watch it again soon.
Anyway, here is Eve of Destruction in that series:

The political climate in the United States is quite contentious at the moment. On the positive side, perhaps some memorable music will come out of this moment when things calm down.
