That one, and Carmina Burana, are two that I hope to sing, once, in my lifetime. Call me a pop-Classisist if you like; I'll just bash you over the head with my Webern CDs (speaking of which, I've heard Wozzeck - how is it possible to sing that?)
My favourite that I have sung is the Faure Requiem. The tenor to the Agnus Dei...awesome, as its original meaning. And slightly more obscure, Randall Thompson's "The Last Words of David" (http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_inside.html?item=695586&cart=3450783737111810880&type=image&page=01&cm_re=detail-_-lookInside-_-thumbnail:inside). In the words of our organist/choir director; "I'm a little busy here. You're on your own."
