The works, indexed here by composer, vary greatly in size, from songs to oratorios. Only works for which a composer is known are listed. That leaves out quite a number of motets, madrigals, and especially folk songs that have been sung by the Society but whose composer is anonymous. Not surprisingly, the Great Neck Choral Society has performed more works by Johann Sebastian Bach--20 in all--than by any other composer. Next in order are Johannes Brahms, George Frideric Handel, and Franz Josef Haydn. The most frequently performed works--six times each--are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus and Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah. Tied for next with four performances each are Mozart's Requiem, Brahms' Requiem, and Handel's Judas Maccabaeus.
