Vote for Your Favorite Classical Pieces

Tell us your favorite works of classical music, and we'll count them down to ring in 2025!

Please use the form below to vote for up to five works. For each selection, choose the work’s composer from the drop-down menu, or type it in if you don’t see it listed. Then, add the work’s title. If your piece shows up as a suggested option, please select it and allow it to autocomplete. Otherwise, please write in the full title.

This year, we’d love to add some new works into the mix! For your fifth choice this year, we encourage you to vote for an “Out of the Box” selection, such as a favorite work by a living composer or by a composer who isn’t typically well-represented in the Classical Countdown. While not a requirement, we make this suggestion so that listeners can share music they love with others for whom it might be a discovery beyond the perennial favorites. Need some inspiration? You could check out featured programming from our Juneteenth and International Women’s Day marathons.

Voting closes Monday, December 9th at 12pm. Don't forget to tune in to hear the Classical Countdown on air starting Friday, December 27th.

Please, only one entry form per person. Duplicate entries will not be counted.
