I don’t generally enjoy Mozart, but his Requiem is incredible.
“Salvation is Created” is a choral piece by Pavel Tchesnokov, mindblowingly beautiful, especially with a good section of deep Russian basses.
Many Renaissance masses and motets also, Josquin and Palestrina especially.
I am almost grateful these aren’t usually performed in services—I won’t speak of Bach, since it is almost worth pretending to have found faith just to sing in the church choir.

I feel the same way :-)
Thanks for the other references, I’ll check them out.
It’s too bad VOIP isn’t reliably good enough for us to arrange our own choir.
