The most mournful melody?

Nice.... wasn't familiar...

Here's another take on Harlem Nocturne:

Music doesn't need words to convey saddness.
A sense of loss.

Anybody say “Naima” yet?

Great bass line too!

I really wish Layne was still with us.
Here's my submission. Rick's playing melts my heart in this song:

 

[TrevorR]

My vote is for Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor... doubly so with Jacquline Du Pre performing it...

By strange coincidence I just finished listened to this and considered posting...

What tune has the most mournful melody? Here's my submission (meaning the melody in the guitar line, not the voice, though that's up there, too).

Starless is amazing. But how about Scott Walker's Rosemary?

Thanks to the OP for a post that actually has some substance. As of late, I find TB filled with repetitious or attention seeking posts. This, at least, brought forth some music that comments on the fragility of the human condition. I know it's not feasible or beneficial to reflect on such morbid contemplations frequently, but life is worth exploring... Or should I say, All facets of it through music...

Not sure, but I know D minor is the saddest of all keys.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Can't add the link, but you can easily find it. McCartney's "For No One." Very dark and mournful.

 

[JRA]

i always thought "silent night" was kind of "mournful."

Bach's " Air ", from the Third Orchestral Suite.
