If the word timeless can be applied to a piece of music, that's probably it.
Indeed, this hit by Pachelbel was played and arranged i don't know how many times.
This drum edit version was programmed on my audio system to wake me up this morning. Have a good day.

Benjamin Britten - War requiem
(Full album)
This Requiem was commissioned to Britten for the re-consecration of the Coventry Cathedral, destroyed during WW2.
The English composer saw there an opportunity to express his pacifism and his horror for the atrocities of the war. Thus he had the idea to combine the ceremonial Requiem with the poetry of Wilfred Owen, a poet well known in England, disappeared during World War 1.
(Comment after French FNAC website ).

I think it confirms what i said, this piece is a worldwide hit.
Listen, when i was maybe 18 or 19, i had a buddy who was a pretty good organist musician, he owned some electronic keyboard stuff in his room.
His parent's house was in the city of Ploeumeur, just near Lorient and just in front of the jailhouse, separated by a field as a no man's land.
Each week-end, he played music for the prisoners, with his window opened and, when he played this pîece, often a lot of prisoners were at their windows, listening to him, we could see them.
