One more, which has been running through my head all day -- it is wonderful to hear, and simply glorious to sing, the way the parts chase each other around the melody.

Cantate Domino (Hans Leo Hassler)

Cantate Domino canticum novum, cantate Domino omnis terra.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, sing unto the Lord all the earth.

Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus.
Sing unto the Lord, and bless his name.

Annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Proclaim from day to day his salvation.

Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus, in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Proclaim among the nation his glory,among all peoples his wonders.

[Fiji Hill]

That’s a beautiful tune.

Another one I like is Laudate Dominum (Praise the Lord) by Wolfgang A. Mozart (1780), which is based on Psalm 116 in the Vulgate Bible. It was performed at my father's memorial service.
