There is a book published by Coburn Press (Connecticut) called ELEVEN
SCRIPTURAL SONGS FROM THE 20TH CENTURY - all songs are for medium voice
and organ.
Darius Milhaud wrote a set of CINQ PRIERES (5 prayers) for medium voice
and organ (in Latin, published by Heugel, and 15 pages. Milhaud's "De
Profundis" (Psalm 129) is also for medium voice and organ, published by
Universal Edition (10 p.)
There's also Daniel Pinkham's WESLEY HILLS SONG BOOK and CAROLS AND CRIES,
both for medium voice and organ, and both publihed by E.C. Schirmer. (Can
also be performed by unison chorus - but Pinkham designated either unison
chorus or solo).
Along with the Flor Peeters LORD'S PRAYER, there's Ned Rorem's LORD'S
PRAYER, also for medium voice and organ, published by Henmar Press
(distrib. C.F. Peters).
C.F. Peters publishes Heinrich Schuetz's DREI KLEINE GEISTLICHE KONZERTE
(3 small sacred concerti) for medium voice and organ - total 15 pages.
Leo Sowerby composed THREE PSALMS, for baritone or contralto and organ
(published by Theodore Presser); the score is 35 pages long, and the set
was composed in 1935.
Johannes Driessel is another 20th c. composer who wrote a work, this time
the second of this Concerti Sacri, op. 47, for baritone and organ. It's
published by Breitkopf & Haertel, and runs 28 pages in length.
Rumanian composer Vlad Roman composed "Ego autem" for baritone and organ.
It's about 7 minutes long, and published by Ricordi (it's in Italian) in
1973 (not sure when it was composed).
Norwegian composer Knut Nysted's "Tenebrae factae sung" is for baritone
(or bass) and organ. It's in Latin, composed in 1977 or so, published by
Norsk Musikforlag, in is 4 pages long.
Alfredo Casella's TRE CANTI SACRI for baritone and organ, op. 66, is
published by Suivini Zerboni (15 p.)
Novello has published, in its Purcell Society Reprints series, six sacred
songs by Purcell in arrangement for medium voice and organ. All six songs
are in a 28-page score. The individual songs are "How long, great God",
"In the black, dismal dungeon of despair", "Let the night perish", "Lord,
what is man, lost man", "The earth trembled", and "With sick and famish'd
eyes" - the whole thing sounds quite jolly! :) Novello has also published
"Awake and with attention hear" by Purcell for bass and organ (back in
Purcell's day there were no such thing as a "baritone" - you were either a
bass or a tenor or a castrato if you were a male singer).
Telemann composed a "Missa brevis" for alto or bass soloist and organ (in
Latin); it's published by Carus-Verlag, and runs 16 pages.
Carus-Verlag publishes Four Sacred Songs (Vier geistliche Stuecke) by
Dvorak for low voice and organ (in Latin). Don't know these, but if
they're anything like his many Psalm settings, the latter tend to be
favourites with many.
If it were my concert, I'd probably focus on the "name" composers like
Telemann, Purcell, Schuetz, Milhaud, Dvorak, and Pinkham, unless the
others were particularly spectacular or beautiful.
