J. S. Bach, Matthäuspassion
Apart from it possibly being the best piece of music ever, I also get several hours of music instead of just one lousy song.
Thomas Tallis would be another choice.

What is it, I wonder. The reason I picked Tchaikovsky is because for the last 10-15 years I've had
this theoretical question about 8 yrs in space and other songs come and go on my list but Tchai-man
has always been there. What makes Bach or Dvorak or Tchaikovsky timeless? I've always been
interested in that.
