"Messiah" by George Frideric Handel is easily way up there on the list. Whenever you hear the classic "Alleliua" sound sung by a choir of angels, you are listening to a part of Handel's "Messiah." Pretty much anyone who has heard the word Alleliua has heard this song. Just look it up and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Anything other than that is pretty objective. Some of the more popular ones include anything by Beethoven and "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff. That's the song you hear whenever there is an extremely intense moment or fight scene (You know, the song in Lord of the Rings).
The Liebeslieder ("Love songs") Waltzes are the most popular today, written for vocal quartet and piano. Apart from those he wrote a large choral work in a much less festive mood, called Ein Deutsches Requiem.
Some of the songs are Adagio for strings by Samuel Barber, Prelude Morning by Edvard Grieg, Finlandia by Jean Sibelius, Meditation from Thais by Jules Massenet.
