I know quite a few Musicals. Do Opera's count too? they were the first Musicals so to speak :tongue: .
Baroque
Claudio Menteverdi - Orfeo (Orpheus 1607 )
Henry Purcell - Dido and Aeneas (1689) - Dido's Lament
George Frideric Handel - Messiah (1741) - Hallelujah Chorus
(One of my favourites :3 )
The Classical
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- Dies Irae (Requiem for the Dead)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard - Le Nozze di Figaro(The Marriage of Figaro) (1786)
(Largo al factotum)
The Romantic
Franz Schubert - Erkonig (The Erlking; 1815)
(This story was thought to be about a man[The Erlkonig] kidnapping a young boy and raping and killing him, but now it's determined as "interpretive music" so however you think of it, it's how it is.)
-I was going to add Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and his "Romeo & Juliet" , but most of his music is without words, so I thought that it wouldn't count. He wrote well known pieces, such as ; Swan Lake, The Nut Cracker suite, Sleeping Beauty and the 1812 Overture(most people can associate this with cartoons and racehorse stadiums). [Fun fact: he was the only well known gay composer, but had a troubled life because of it]-
Giuseppe Verdi- Rigoletto (1851) - La Donna e mobile (Woman is fickle)
Giacomo Puccini - Madame Butterfly
Modern
Mama Mia- Mama Mia :3
Enchanted - That's How You Know
Aladdin - A whole new world
Elton John - Can you feel the love tonight (Lion King)
Jungle Book - Bare Necessities
Aristocats - Everybody wants to be a cat

As you can tell from the last few 'modern' ones, I love disney >.> and there are alot of musicals in their cartoons, very under-appreciated if you ask me :3 .
