Your Favorite Classical Pieces


Credo in Deum

Recommended Posts

Oh, and not technically classical, but I love this. (I'm a massive fan of choral music & a capella.)

If we count opera, then Mozart's Don Giovanni. Maybe Wagner's Parsifal or Gotterdammerung

 

Bach's Mass in B Minor

Schubert's String Quintet in C

Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty

Mahler's 5th Symphony

Haydn's Die Schopfung

Bela Bartok's String Quartets (difficult to pick one)

Stravinsky's Apollon Musagete
Part's Passio (a really moving and intense minimalist setting of the St. John Passion to music)
Feldman's Piano and String Quartet

Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time

 

...something like that.

Here's one by Eric Genius, a contemporary Catholic composer. I couldn't find the music I was looking for by him, but this one is still pretty good.

Also another one that I sang and loved. (Though the Arcadelt is another favorite arrangement)

Not really classical music, but a scene from classical literature that's well worth watching, with really cool psalmody.

I love this. I sang both Non nobis (a capella) and Te Deum (Charpentier) a couple of years ago in choir. Both gave me chills!

Schumann's Symphony No. 1 in B Flat Major "Spring" I have many favorites, but this is my flavor of the month.

Henry Gorecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. 
 

It's not "classical" in the sense that it's from the era of Handel and those guys, but it's still longhair music - not folk, pop, country, bluegrass, blues, or any of that lot. Gorecki' is actually considered a minimalist composer like Phillip Glass, Avro Part, and others. But you didn't define "classical" in your original post, so I'm interpreting the term broadly.
