There’s very little that I’m familiar with which meets that standard—possibly some Christmas carols.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Ode to Joy, Water Music, The Four Seasons, Flight of the Bumblebee, Flight of the Valkyries, …
What do you mean by indoctrination?
Being taught throughout schooling that “This is good music, high status people produced and listen to this music”, plus, in the case of higher learning, the inferential distance chain you’re taken through that results in you liking obscure academic classical-style music.
Alternatively, being taught throughout schooling that, “Being [religion X] is good, high status people belong to this religion, you will be high status if you’re faithful”, plus only getting good grades/promotion if you can master the doctrines of a religion.
Popular classical music isn’t as high status as difficult modern and contemporary classical music, but it’s still pretty high status.
“No indoctrination” is a high standard. Also, is there a difference so far as indoctrination is concerned between “high status people like this” and “normal people like this”?

Not in terms of the uninformativeness it injects into the fact of their popularity. That is, if something’s popular without that kind of in-school promotion (like Halo), that says a lot more about it then whether people “like” something (but continue to doze through any actual performance until the part where they get to sleep with their date) that is promoted in school, such as Shakespeare.
