Some information I have gathered over the years through various sources.
Classical pieces:
Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker
Michael specifically liked The Nutcracker Suite, which is a selection of eight pieces from the original ballet, done by Tchaikovsky back in 1892.
These numbers are:
Mozart - Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra K.299
- Rondo D Major K. 184
I'm not sure if Michael necessarily liked the whole concerto K.299, but the second movement, the andante, was in his playlist of songs playing at Neverland. It is sublime. I encourage everyone to listen to it.
Debussy - Prélude à l'Après-midi d'un faune
- Claire De Lune
The former a piece very often mentioned by Michael as one of his favourites. Interestingly the latter, Michael preferred the orchestral arrangement of, as opposed to the original piano piece. Attached are both versions (original, only piano / Michael's preferred version with a full orchestra)
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia On Greensleves
- The Lark Ascending
Bach - Allegro from Sonata for Violin and Flute or Continuo in G Minor BWV 1020
- Sonata No.2 E flat major BWV 1031

These ones in particular:
1. You Are The Pan
2. Remembering Childhood
3. From Mermaids To Lost Boys
