I suppose I’d better contribute to this list, since (a) I made another comment about possibly writing sacred music, and (b) no one has yet mentioned:
Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, a candidate for his greatest work.
Mozart’s (unfinished) Mass in C minor, K.427. The Kyrie movement is one of the two most aesthetically perfect musical compositions I know of (for my own “aesthetic value” function).

What’s the other of your two most aesthetically perfect musical compositions?
The first movement of the Eroica symphony.
Well, we have similar tastes :-)
