Just remembered Lili Boulanger's beautiful Psalm 24. Geez, this is agonizing! ;D

:D

Back to the drawing board.  You may as well do a complete revision of your list, Kyle.   ;D

Sorry Sammy, the Seasons isn't sacred.

;D  Why not?

I felt like putting Bach's Six Cello Suites on my list.  They are sacred to me.  :)

And so they are to me, too - as are Cunning Little Vixen, From the House of the Dead, and Wozzeck 8)

Would have liked to have included Part I of Mahler 8, but seeing as we are after complete works then Veni Creator Spiritus, however beautiful...must yield  >:(

Would you consider the Faust Part II sacred/religious...

Sorry Sammy, the Seasons isn't sacred.

Choral or sacred - it's all the same to me.  However, I do recognize my technical error.

It is definitely a sacred work, whether he intended it that way or not.

Then:

Ligeti Requiem
Pfitzner: Palestrina
Machaut: Messe de Notre Dame
Brahms: German Requiem
Faure: Requiem
Durufle: Requiem
Schmidt: Book of the Seven Seals
Bach: St. Mathew's Passion
Bach: Mass in b
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Howells' Hymnus Paradisi is a most moving work, recalling VW in its depth of utterance and beauty: http://youtu.be/at-yv-BQAeA
