Susi, If you're looking for something a little different, how about the soprano solo from Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb: "For I will consider my cat, Geoffrey"? Short but sweet, and still somewhat religiously themed. And if you can do it with organ instead of piano, there are some nice possibilities for registrations that you can explore (the figure in the right hand of the accompaniment always reminds me of the way a cat will wind around your leg!). This might be a little more intimate or chamber-like than you have in mind, though.

I would like to make it representative across the ages and am looking for something written in the 20th Century. Any ideas?
