Pachelbel's Canon in D somehow reminds me of Nienna, the Valar's mourner. It's somewhat melancholy but very beautiful. Perhaps in relation to the Two Trees as well, as Nienna mourns them and then eventually they lead to the Sun and Moon's creation, explaining the uplifting final chord.

I'm also in love with Doppler's "Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise" (sp?) and I think its pretty elfy. It's got sad parts, flighty glissando parts, and seems to capture their various aspects.

Sorry no links, my computer doesn't take well to media downloads. I am sure if you want to hear them badly enough you can find 'em!
