Hi Tako,
If you're not restricting yourself to church music, there are lots of songs by John Blow, Jeremiah Clarke, William Boyce, John Eccles and all the English lutenists that have been transcribed for keyboard. Most of them are of course written for continuo, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they must be done with a bass instrument. The same goes for the Diverse Ayres on Sundrie Notions (S. 99 44/100) by P.D.Q. Bach!
