Oh my, I could go on for days, but here is a short list:

Wilbye: Draw on Sweet Night
Penderecki: Stabat mater
Brahms: Schaffe in mir ein rein Herz
Bach: Jesu, meine Freude
Stanford: Beati quorum via
Durufle: Ubi caritas
Auric: 5 chansons (or is it 6, it has been a while!)
Poulenc: Videntes Stellam
Kuhnau: Tristis est anima mea
Clement Janequin: La guerre
William Harris: Faire is the Heaven
etc. ad infinitum
