Thomas Tallis's Spem in Alium is very unusual in that it is written for forty voices. Most of his music is for much smaller forces.\n\nYou could try his five part  'Lamentations of Jeremiah'.  See if you can find a recording of the low pitch version for all male voices which is particularly sumptuous.

Check out Jim Brickman stuff. His music is very flowing and has a lot of awesome syncopation. I played a piece for a recital like 10 years ago that was beautiful. it's called Journey West (The Oregon Trail) and its by Renee Schwab. It's a very beautiful piece. Very flowing. It sounds like movie score music. If you decide to do that piece, it has like 6 #'s or something crazy like that, but if you ignore that key signature and play it in the key of Bb (Bb and Eb) it sounds the same and you dont have to deal with the horrible key signature. \nChopin has a lot of good pieces too, most are pretty hard, but he has a couple that you could probably do. His songs have a lot of emotion which is awesome.\nHope this helps! :)

beethoven had the vision that no composer had at his time. He even once said "I will seize fate by the throat!". He conquered his weakness, which was his ever-worsening deafness, by composing music that nobody had imagined before. His music is full of pain and vital energy.

I hope this can help you.\n\nEnjoy it ;P\n\n\nEditorial Reviews...\n\nAmerican McGee's Alice, video game music \nComposed by Chris Vrenna\n\nAmazon.com\nChris Vrenna's soundtrack to the American McGee's Alice video game is fittingly twisted. Sounds created with toy instruments and percussion, music boxes, clocks, doors, and sampled female voices (including Jack Off Jill- singer Jessicka) are manipulated into nightmarish soundscapes. A harpsichord and a clock ticking over a bed of rhythmic effects invoke a sense of Victorian horror, while also playing off of modern motifs. Fans of the game and connoisseurs of dark and spooky music will be delighted by Vrenna's surreal score. --Bryan Reesman \n\nUSA Today\n"The background music is gorgeous and creepy... all composed and masterfully produced by Chris Vrenna." \n\nEntertainment Weekly\n"Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails fame provides a throbbing soundtrack." \n\nGameSpot\n"The visuals are excellent, but whatever disturbing ambience Alice manages to create is due largely to the soundtrack by former Nine Inch Nails member Chris Vrenna. It effectively punctuates...the atmosphere of dread..." \n\nProduct Description\nWith the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice, Electronic Arts' new video game, Chris Vrenna (formerly of Nine Inch Nails) provides musical menace to accompany the heroine's adventures in a Wonderland gone to hell. The sounds of dilapidated toys and ghostly machinery converge with the haunting ambient electro-soundscape produced and composed by Vrenna.

I would have to say the main composer for all the Mario Bros. games. He's a Japanese guy and was featured in, i think, the March issue of "Nintendo Power".

Go to youtube.com and type his name in the search. Quite a few "live" performances there, although many aren't dated. Good Luck!
