I see we got several of the same faves! (love that Biebl)

Our choir sings the Viadana "Exultate Justi" and the Palestrina "Sicut Cervus". The middle section of the Viadana is a real tongue twister - first 'in psalterio decem chordarum' and then 'in vociferatione' . . .

Another great one is the Palestrina Magnificat Primi Toni (Liber Primus). We sang this for Archbishop Donoghue's vigil/vespers the night before his funeral.

My favorite version of "Sanctus," from Charles Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass (1854) is by the choir and orchestra of the Bupyeong Methodist Church in Inchon, South Korea. It is sung in Korean. Listen to it here.

Yes,we do share some favorites! I learned these pieces through the talents of the various choir directors our school has had through the last several years - I never knew there was such beauty out there - (and yes I agree with you on the Exultate - I feel like a trapeze artist on some of those lines too :) )
