The "Dies Irae" theme is used a lot in classical music, for example this Totentanz by Liszt:

Gesualdo's Madrigals are sublime, too.
- adwf 12y agoI was about to say the very same. There are so many beautiful pieces of religious music, it would be a crying shame to dismiss them simply because you don't believe in the subject matter. Afterall, most of the history of the human race has been dominated by religion in some form or another, it's a bit silly to disregard all of that.

- hga 12y agoFor regular doses of "Great Sacred Music" of all periods, from Early Music to Modern, I strongly recommend the program by that name which is aired on Sundays, 8-11 US Eastern time by WCPE, The Classical Station, which has Internet feeds: http://theclassicalstation.org/ http://theclassicalstation.org/
