John Blow - Amphion Anglicus: Ah heaven! What is't I hear? (2 sopranos)

Handel - Judas Maccabeus: O lovely peace, with plenty crowned (sop/mezzo)

Handel - Israel in Egypt: The Lord is my strength and my song (sop I/sop
II)

Handel - Messiah: How beautiful are the feet of them (sop/alt with chorus)

Handel - The Occasional Oratorio: After long storms and tempests are
overblown (sop I/sop II)

Britten - A Ceremony of Carols: Spring Song (2 trebles or soprano/mezzo)


Of course, you could do many other things in translation.
