John Blow - Amphion Anglicus: Ah heaven! What is't I hear? (2 sopranos)
Handel - Judas Maccabeus: O lovely peace, with plenty crowned (sop/mezzo)
Handel - Israel in Egypt: The Lord is my strength and my song (sop I/sop II)
Handel - Messiah: How beautiful are the feet of them (sop/alt with chorus)
Handel - The Occasional Oratorio: After long storms and tempests are overblown (sop I/sop II)
Britten - A Ceremony of Carols: Spring Song (2 trebles or soprano/mezzo)
Of course, you could do many other things in translation.
