I get chills from music here and there. The piece that most reliably will produce the strongest effect on me is "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Looking at the article there seems to be a genetic component, but no one in my family has ever mentioned them, I should go ask.

We are not a "musical" family. No one plays competently any instruments or goes to concerts. I have an ukulele that I use mostly as a noisy version of a fidget spinner.

From the article I see that the openmindedness trait fits, at least musically: I sometimes go on YouTube musical late night binges and they can easily range from Renaissance guitar pieces to KPop via Mozart, Slipknot or some obscure Latvian folklore.

Here is a wonderful recording of "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" played in Gloucester Cathedral:

I non-ironically got them chills just by hearing a few bars while checking your link.

I tend to go for this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIhZbvlCjY0 because although I can´t read music I can kind of vibe-read the score by looking at the waves of notes following the music. For me it adds to the experience.

Also the almost organ-like effects of the two separate orchestras seem stronger in this recording than in any other I've tried.

		My wife just said she wasn't getting any chills, but definitely some yawns :)

You should listen to Classic FM. You can switch it on at random and this tune is often playing. If it isn't, then it's usually Saint Saens' Organ Symphony finale (as featured in "Babe".) :)
