    1.Weber Der Freischütz, Act 3, a simple and short volkslied is sung by village girls.

    2.Check out the beginnig of the second act from Aida, not as an individual work though.

    3.Serov's opera Judith, Act 3, chorus of Odalisques (with Dances).

    4.Yes, not an individual work, but I love the final female chorus in Holst's the Planets, real mystic atmosphere with two chords repeated distance fading...

    5.If you're interested in eastern timbres and tunes, you may find some beautiful female chorus in Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov's operas and operettas.

    Schubert's Psalm 23 for female choir.

    I am surprised no one mentioned this little gem.

    Schubert manages that most supreme of feats, to be melancholy without being maudlin, his pain is not a mockery of pain but truly heartfelt, and he manages to pass that though with all of its complexities in his music.
