I'll start with the obvious, in no particular order! (There are some strange ones!)

Mahler 2 (and others!)
Barbers Adagio (especially in "Elephant Man")
Lark Ascending
Chanson de Matin (Elgar played by Fletch)
Resurgam and The Kingdom Triumphant (Eric Ball)
Oration (Snell played by Steven Mead)
Gloria! (John Rutter)
Nativity from Dove Descending (Philip Wilby)
The Party, Kayleigh and Lavender (English rock band Marillion)
Complicated (Carolyn Dawn Johnson)
Some Meatloaf (sorry!)
Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral (Wagner, Lohengrin)

For groovin', all Tower of Power, Earth Wind And Fire and Toto makes me smile.

For personal reasons,
Paganini Variations (Philip Wilby) is close to my heart. I played it at the British Open contest with Fodens brass band 2 days after one of our band members had been killed. It was one of the most moving moments of my life.
Year of the Dragon (Philip Sparke) because winning the European Competition, again with Fodens, was the best musical performance I have, and probably ever will, be involved in.

Sorry to go on, there is more!
