Neil Diamond, of all people, has a version, which you might or might not like.

Eh, pretty heavily derived. It's probably more like heavy sampling.

Jupiter - Holst

I can feel it at a funeral, a wedding, a birth, a Requiem for a nation defeated etc etc

Tangentially related: Barber also wrote his Adagio for Strings as an Agnus Dei. It's great.

Christopher Columbus (Squirrels & Onions remix) doesn't technically have lyrics, but I always sing the title words along with the beat, at least in my head. Kinda of like how a lot of EDM just turns into Boots and Cats in my head.

The Bark and Below It by the Olivia Tremor Control.

Good luck to ya.

Non-joke answer, I'd be curious to hear what kinda lyrics you could give to Hang Up Your Hang Ups by Herbie Hancock.

This is quite literally one of the reasons I started making music. Too many instrumentals without vocals.
