Here are a few suggestions:
Handel:
Arias frm Messiah
Bach:
Arias from Christmas Oratorio (Great, and underdone!)
Saine-Saens
"Expectans" ("Patiently") from Christmas Oratorio
Niles:
Several songs: I wonder as I wander; Jesus, Jesus rest your head,
What
songs were sung (A real gem, IMHO!)
Cornelius:
Weihnachtslieder (Christmas songs)
Brahms:
"Viola Songs" both would work!
Yon:
Gesu Bambino
Quilter:
An Old Carol (just lovely!)
Rorem:
A Christmas Carol (interesting, with unaccompanied sections)
Dello Joio
A Christmas Carol (A personal favorite!)
Check out the Hal Leonard "Christmas Carols for Solo Singers" and
Oxford's "Sing solo Christmas"
There are many, many more!
