Music Memetics?

Okay, so I wasn’t technically tagged by Harvey for this, but I felt like filling it out anyway. Okay, so I didn’t fill it out, but… hey. ^_^
The First Ever Comprehensive Music Questionaire

Favorites or just the first that comes to mind:

Symphony – Dvorak’s 9th – 4th movement especially
Concerto for any wind instrument (flute, clarinet, oboe, horn, etc) – Arutunian Concerto for sheer difficulty, Hindemith Sonate transposed to trumpet for enjoyablenessness.
Concerto for two or more soloists, Sonata with accompaniment or other music for only two instruments – I’m not sure what the difference is between these two, but I’m going to go with Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Trumpets.

Latin choral work (mass, requiem, Stabat Mater, etc.) – Gloria in Excelsis Deo, Haydn Version – there are about 650 billion different songs by this name.
Choral work in a language other than Latin – Verba Vainamoinis, Veljo Tormis – If I recall correctly from senior year, this work is in Estonian. Yeah, of course I’m missing like seventeen diacritical marks on “Vainamoinis
Movie Score: Anything by John Williams. The SW prequel trilogy would have been unwatchable without this man’s input.

TV Theme: NCAA basketball on CBS… what – you thought there’d be a post with no sports in it? Come on – my TV is on ESPN or off nowadays.
