I love Mozart's Requiem as well! Rex Tremandae is my favorite part...but I love the entire thing. I also love Faure Requiem. And A German Requiem (Handel).
I am also partial to Beethoven's 3rd Symphony (the Eroica) and Dvorak Symphony #9 (From the New World).
And yes...always Sinatra! And Nat King Cole, the Platters, and the Beatles.

Berlioz's Requiem is also clutch. The Dies Irae is earth-shatting (literally!). But my favorite movement is the Lacrymosa. Just near the end, when the darkness has closed in and evil seems triumphant, there bursts a ray of hope in the music that for an instant shows that peace and serenity await beyond the tribulations. It's magnificent and deeply moving.
