Excellent list. One small observation regarding “Angelus ad Virginem” – it actually appears more likely that it was written by Irish Franciscans, possibly in the thirteenth century, contrary to what the YouTube link claims! In fact, the late Sir David Willcocks’ arrangement – which is performed in the YouTube link – acknowledges the Irish origins of the hymn.
