What is interesting to you?


Classical
I mean there's like Beethoven's 9th Choral work which dabbles in choral work in the last movement, but then there's like:
Handel's Messiah
Verdi's Requiem
Beethoven's Missa Solemnis
Bach's Mass in B minor or his passions (many)
Mozart's Requiem

Or are you more interested in modern vocal works from other composers? Or perhaps older western choral works?

OR are you look for like "gospel" choir stuff or similar?

OR like modern pop stuff?

OR atonal odd choral works?

So much can haz choral.

at this point im open minded thats why i didnt specify what im looking for , except for a choral part. i was hoping to recieve some "must hear" suggestion , that would blow my mind.

I think Roundthebend's list pretty much rounds out the "essentials" as far as pre-1900 classical music goes.

For the 20th century, I would add All-Night Vigil by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass.

For something very recent but still classical:

Enargeia by Emily D'Angelo
Classical pieces and arrangements exclusively by women, including medieval polymath Hildegard von Bingen and modern composer Hildur Guðnadóttir (who composed the soundtrack to 2019's Joker film). It's not all choral, but much of it is.

For non-classical:

The Fabulous Bessie Griffin & The G...pel Pearls
This is probably my favorite gospel album.
