I love Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, but for me nothing tops Erbarme dich from the St. Matthew Passion for emotional impact.

This is always subjective, of course, and I could vote for the Allegretto as one of the greatest individual pieces in Western music, but for my money, the St. Matthew Passion is the greatest work in Western music. The opening chorus alone worth the price of any CD it's on.

I do remember students begging professors for more money in their class accounts at the end of the term. At UMich we could even have our own personal accounts funded with our own (real) money. This came in very handy sometimes.
