I just don't tire of listening to the above. I have always been impressed with Freeper taste and have an open mind and am willing to learn (I also expect to get several good suggestions for CDs to buy myself for the Holidays).

3) Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture
4) Pachelbel's Canon
5) Handel's Watermusic
6) Puccini's Turandot

8) Bizet's Carmen
9) Bach's Brandenburg Concerto # 3
10)Verdi's Requiem

I'm not a classical fan; most pre-1900 music is not my style. However, Greensleeves is my favorite Christmas music.
Running a close second is "Cantique de Noel".
I love the Mannheim Steamroller versions of these tunes.

Too bad Gustav Holst's work was in the early 1900s. Anyway, Sousa! Just about 30 years, 1872 or 3, 'til another 30 years in the 20th Century. He had to write the Inauguration Music, and the Funeral Music, for President Garfield in 1881.

I have to go with the more "pop classics", if you can call them that:
- Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody #2
- Beethoven's 9th - 2nd movement
- Handel's Water Music
- Rossini's Thieving Magpie Overture
- Bizet's Carmen Suite
- Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie
- Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite
- Beethoven's 5th Symphony in its entirety
- Johann Strauss's Blue Danube waltz
- Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic

ALL the best music was written before 1900 :-)

Bump and bookmark. Thank you. (I cop out. I can't add anything for fear of omitting so much else. I love it all except the easy listening (usually) barogue pap played on my local classical radio station.)
To: Pharmboy
How could you leave out:
Mozart's Requiem Mass
Beethoven's Symphony #7
Any of Chopin's Nocturnes
Wagner's Overture to Der Meistersinger von Nuremburg.
"Turkey in the straw" by Stephen Foster
Just joking there at the end.
To: Pharmboy
I'd take the whole
Tristan und Isolde, and I'd take Bach's
St. Matthew Passion, Wagner's
Der Ring der Nibelungen,
Tosca,
Salome by Richard Strauss, Beethoven's sonatas and symphonies--well,
you're taking all of Schubert's impromptus. And if you're going to play
that way, I'm going to take
all of Puccini's operas, all of Verdi's, all of Wagner's, and everything that Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Handel, Vivaldi, Chopin wrote.
I feel so soothed just thinking about it.

Good choices. I would have to have some Mahler. His 9th is from 1910, is that close enough?

Was Mahler after 1900? If he was, I'll take everything Liszt wrote--especially the Liszt Sonata (but I don't think there's a recording of it--what do I do in that case?) --SB
To: Pharmboy
Sadly parodied so often in cartoons and such, Strauss's "Blue Danube" is still one of the most beautiful pieces ever written.

My MY! What an un-PC list! All this music was written by "Dead White European Males."
I'am sure you have offended the East-Asian-African-Pacific-Islander-My-Dog's-Better-Cause-he's-Fed-Kenelration-American CROWD!
By the way....my vote is for:
Pachabel's Canon in D Major.

FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!
Oh...sorry, I mis-read the question.
Most of the winners have been mentioned...I guess I would echo Beethoven's 9th, Tchiakovsky's "1812 Overture", and Handel's Water Music.
I'll also add Ravel's "Bolero" just to be different...
