If you like French melodies, then the soprano psalm, "Ah! Si j'avais des ailes de colombe" from Honegger's ROI DAVID would be ideal for your programme.
There are also a number of soprano solos in Szymanowski's STABAT MATER (in Polish).
Michael Tippett's A CHILD OF OUR TIME has two soprano solos: "What have I done to you?" and "How can I cherish my man?". This is a secular oratorio.
Karen Mercedes ----- Ich singe, wie der Vogel singt, Der in den Zweigen wohnet; Das Lied, das aus der Kehle dringt, Ist Lohn, der reichlich lohnet. -- J.W. von Goethe, WILHELM MEISTER
