Is it normal that music moves me so much?

I love music. Instrumental music from games and anime are my favorite. When I listen to a piece like "Epilogue" from Shadow of the Colossus or "Rakuen" from Wolf's Rain, it moves me to the point of tears. Ever since I can remember, music has affected me this way. And despite it making me feel sad, I don't hate it - it's a good kind of sadness.
I can go weeks feeling completely apathetic and then listen to a beautiful instrumental piece, then bam, I lose it - and then feel better.
Is it normal?

    Every once in a while I'll discover a song that moves me to tears every time, not necessarily because it is sad but because it is so beautiful.

    "Three Queens" by Heather Dale is one such song. I encourage anyone reading this to have a listen, especially if you like Celtic music.

    The Call of Cthulu and Orion are the best instrumental pieces ever.
