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.

Excellent - we sang that at our long-time deacon's First Mass after his ordination to the priesthood.
You need a REALLY good soprano - fortunately we have one (wish we had more - I'm just a workhorse alto).
