Thank you a lot! I've been experiencing this since I was a kid. Specially in orquestral soundtracks like "The breaking of the fellowship" but also in electronic music like "Ode to joy" from Savant or "Herz an herz" from Blümchen.

The anticipation of the climax of this songs give me chills that go way beyond what an orgasm feels like.

You should listen to the full first movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. It's one of the most popular pieces of music in history, and for good reason!

For a more modern one, Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters (the Official Video on YouTube is the exact version) is one of the most memorable frisson experiences I've had in recent years. After I first heard it while dancing I listened to it for like a week straight and got frisson at the climax basically every single time.

I can't believe I never listened the whole piece. It has been an awesome experience! Thank you!

Gustav Holst’s Jupiter always does it for me. It’s absolutely sublime. I have to skip it when I’m working because otherwise I’ll have to take a break to bask in the glow of the song’s crescendo.
