There are a number of tracks that send tingles down my spine; over the years some still do. This is one example; it might have been the first music that produced that effect. For a long time I thought that this tune was composed by Eddie Harris, after some research I found I was wrong. The music was composed by Ernest Gold for the film Exodus; words were added later by Pat Boone. Despite being a mono recording, this my favourite version. It’s been an ear worm for the last two days.
Please share your examples.

Before I forget, the other contender for the first music that sent tingles up and down my spine is Finlandia; the occasion was listening to the radio before going to the Christmas Eve midnight service with my grandparents. This is my favourite version; the whole album is wonderful.

Absolutely second the Lahti/Vänskä Sibelius, all of it magic. 
Essential if you love his music.

Numerous tragic opera arias, e.g. Addio, del passato in La Traviata, Tu che di gei sei cinta in Turandot, and even Nessun dorma from Turandot - indeed Jeff Beck’s playing of Nessun Dorma on his Emotion and commotion album has that effect. Another that immediately comes to mind is the opening bars of the first track O Fortuna from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.

Wild is the wind, the David Bowie version is another tingler, as is Talking Heads’ Listening Wind.

Janet Baker singing Dido’s Lament from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas does it for me. And not just tingles. When she gets to “remember me” it’s moist eyes every time, too.
