1. Pergolesi -- Stabat Mater (featured in Amadeus but only a so-so part of it so as not to compete with Mozart. Some claim this was the most popular piece of music in the 18th century.)
2. Pergolesi -- Missa Romana, particularly the finale
3. Praetorius -- Mass for Christmas Morning (unanimous 5-star reviews in Amazon, read them if you have any interest in baroque music)
4. Vivaldi -- Laudate Pueri sung by Lynn Dawson
5. Christof Straus -- Vena Sponsa Christie (spelling approximate, written about 1630)
6. Mahler -- 2nd Symphony

8. Gounod -- Faust
