For me, probably Holst's "Jupiter" from _The Planets_.

This is a totally unoriginal answer, but the 1812 Overture. Holst's Planets is possibly my favorite suite, though."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill -
I like the 1812 overture too. However also on my list are Toccata and Fugue in D minor Finlandia, Peer Gynt and Pictures at an Exhibition.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Nessun dorma from Puccini's Turandot
Weber & Rice copied it in each of their scores.βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον·
ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃Comment

Nessun Dorma is lovely but try growing up having it sung daily at night while trying to sleep....A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

If it kept you from sleeping, that's very much in accord with the opera.Originally posted by Catholicity View Postβλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον·

1812 is lovely. Nessun Dorma ... I don't know it, at least not by name. For Bach, the Little Fugue (if I have to only pick one).Comment

It's tough for me to pick a favorite classical music piece. Perhaps J. S. Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor." I also love Gerschwin's Rhapsody in Blue.Last edited by One Bad Pig; 02-27-2014, 07:58 PM.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

I like The Golden Cockerel by Rimsky-Korsakov. Also his Russian Easter Overture, and Scheherazade.
Also, just about anything arranged by Ralph Vaughn Williams.
Happy now?

Nessun Dorma, Is also well overplayed. Here is the you tube link with Mario Lanza (considering that the "three tenors is too overplayed"
