Some of my favorites are:
Henry Purcell: Strike the Viol; If music be the Food of Love (first
version)
Theodor Chanler: The Rose
Samuel Barber: The Daisies
These songs are generally available.

Gladys Davenport: Cool and Silent is the Lake
Godfrey Ridout: She's Like the Swallow
Robert Fleming: The Confession Stone
These songs can be obtained from the Canadian Music Centre
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
