Here are a few vocal and choral selections that are both 20th century and quite enjoyable. Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiris (sp?) #5 Rachmanninov's Vocalise Orff's Carmina Burana - with the text rotated (left untranslated) in Latin to protect the public from a particularly vulgar set of lyrics. Britten's Ceremony of Carols Stravinski's Symphony of Psalms Randall Thompson's 23rd Psalm (a marvelous, short choral work) and many other choral works Vaughn-Williams' Alleluia (and other choral/vocal works) Menotti's The Unicorn, the Gorgon, and the Manticore Bernstein's Chichester Psalms Be vocal about good music!
