Or how about Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue?

Great Classical Music that Doesn't Sound Like Church?
|
 
One more for now. I'm not a classical purist by any stretch of the imagination. I happen to think that some of modern "new age" creations and film scores should also be considered "classical". Here's Mike Oldfield's "Harbinger" (yes, it has some similarities to Tubular Bells) as an example.

God of Mr. Hanky
Only 1 god, and Mr. Hanky is his profit  Religious Views: Anti-theist, and anti-authoritarian, but I love assholes (January 10, 2016 at 2:55 pm)Nay_Sayer Wrote: Oh yes, very nice string piece by Brahms, the dude with the scowling mug! Also, that grand piano Debussy is quite amazing, even more so to watch (don't think I'll ever be able to tickle the keys like that). Thank you! Thank you!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
My fandom of classical hovers closely around the Nutcracker.

Not classical but interesting... experimental stuff:

If you like piano concert stuff by Tschaikowsky, how about Rach 3?

Non churchy classical.
So many to choose from: Carl Orff - Carmena Burana O Fortuna: More like the minions of Morgoth riding to battle with the Valar. Wagner: Ring of the Niebelung- always smells like napalm in the morning. I was thinking to include John Cage: 4'33" but that might actually be the same silence as found in church.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
