Listening to Gretchaninov's Vespers

Why does classical choral music have such an effect on the soul? No matter how much I love other music, it never gives me that particular feeling of expansion in the chest, the straining as if the sublime is waiting just around some corner; as if, when they hit some particular note, heaven will open. Beautiful.
