Hard to say. Really depends of the my mood while i listen to a song. And as a lot of prog are 10 minutes plus, a lot of them have great moment sometimes mixed with average one, all within a song. This sometimes brings what could have been a great song to a forgetable one just for being long or mixing part that should not be mixed.

Phdeaux's "Crumbles" are very beautiful sounding. Also, that moment in Echoes when the chime comes back right after the 5 minutes of disturbing keyboard sounds is very moving. Tool's Lateralus, and Refugees by van der graaf would also be good choices by me.

if we are talking about Music in general I think MOZART is a king of a Beautiful music. His clarinet or piano or fluteconcertos or his simphonies, operas (or ...) are something incomparable .
In Rock greatest examples are Entangled,Refugees, For today, Soon(by Yes), Starless, Moths, Thick as a brick.

Gentle Giant's Think of Me With Kindness always brings a lump to my throat. Especially the 'Fare thee well, fare thee well you that was once dear to me' part. Other really beautiful songs that come to mind are The Tangent's The Full Gamut and Lunatic Soul's Adrift.

There is lot of really beautiful piece of music in classical side, those Puccini and Verdi opera arias. But if we stay in Progressive rock music, I would say that King Crimson's "Starless" must be one of the most beautiful pieces of music.

I'm not sure it's all that Proggy, but the ending piece of ELO's 'Mr Blue skies' must be high on the list, truly beautiful (at least until that silly interjection of Sparky harmonica suddenly jolts into the picture - almost as bad taste as the gong at the end of 'Bohemian Rhapsody', though you can never be sure if Queen meant the bad taste in the first place).
Also, a piece that probably influenced the ELO arrangement, the Beatles' 'And in the End', the final section of that has to be high on anyone's list, though again, a bit far right off Prog mainstream.

Anyone else hear references to this in some of the Larks' Tongues in Aspic performances from The Great Deceiver? Quite beautiful in its own right.
Wonderful music, but annoying video (time counter).

^I´m sorry, but you typed "Most Beautiful Piece Of Music", thus I mean the music generally, not Prog Rock only.

And what about this one?
This kind of music outbraves all Prog by far.

Personally, I can't decide. Beauty has many guises,sometimes soft sometimes crystal. Ommadawn is an extended piece of pastoral beauty, whereas Close To The Edge is an extended moment of revelation. Annie Haslam's version of YES's "Turn of the Century" reaches a level beyond which nothing can go. Maybe we should pick music that sets a standard.
Wow it is soooooo beautiful, really I am blown away!
