apart from some stuff already mentioned (and stuff i can't remember the names of, honestly, why is classical music so complicatedly named) i would die for bwv 191 (i and iii) even after listening to them on repeat practically through all of last december. also for slightly more depressive moods much of stokowski's symphonic bach. not entirely classic but absolutely LIT is the mashup of beethoven's 5th and 'gold digger'.

omg that IS lit :D probably not really something to put on the list, but I’m listening to it rn, what a bop!

thanks for the suggestions!

Gloria in excelsis Deo, BWV 191

Gloria in excelsis Deo. Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will.

Bach composed the Christmas cantata in Leipzig, probably in 1745 to celebrate the end of the Second Silesian War on Christmas Day. The composition's three movements all derive from the Gloria of an earlier Missa (Kyrie and Gloria in B minor) written by Bach in 1733, which he would use later as the 'Gloria' of his Mass in B minor.  (BWV 232).
