There are so many fantastic choral orchestral works written during the twentieth century, but in no particular order, here are my favorites:
Sergei Rachmaninoff: The Bells (1913)
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Sea Symphony (1903-9)
Arnold Schoenberg: Gurrelieder (1903-11)
Vitezslav Novak: The Storm (1908-10)
Benjamin Britten: War Requiem (1961-2)
Honorable Mention (sorry for breaking my own rule):
Michael Tippett: A Child of Our Time (1939-41)
Sergei Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky (1939)
Carl Orff: Carmina Burana (1935-6)
Janácek: Glagolitic Mass
Shostakovich: The Execution of Stepan Razin
Rachmaninov: The Bells
Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music
Langgaard: Music of the Spheres
Honorable mention
Stravinsky: Les Noces
Prokofiev: Zdravitsa
Respighi: Lauda per la Natività del Signore
Debussy, Sirens
Ravel, Daphnis and Chloe #2
Stravinsky, Symphony of Psalms
Holst, Neptune
Those come to my mind right now.
Oh man, there are so many of them! Here goes nothing (in no particular order):
Szymanowski: Litania do Marii Panny
Duruflé: Requiem
Janáček: Glagolitic Mass
Boulanger: Du fond de l'abîme (Psalm 130)
Poulenc: Litanies à la Vierge Noire
Maurice Ravel: Daphnis et Cloe
Rachmaninov All night vigils
Arvo Part: Stabat Mater
Schostakovich: The execution of Stephan Razin
Francis Poulenc: Gloria
As MI says there are many, many more.
Elgar, Dream of gerontius
Kodaly, Psalmus hungaricus
are amazing pieces also
We had a thread on this very subject years ago. It's since fizzled but seems relevant now. The tread started life as "20th Century Oratorio" but soon expanded.
http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,10121.0.html
In a pinch, I'd list:
Schnittke, Symphony No. 4
Shostakovich, Symphony No. 13, Babi Yar
Stravinsky, Symphony of Psalms
Vaughan Williams, A Sea Symphony
Wuorinen, Genesis
So not much love for Britten's War Requiem? I'm surprised it doesn't make anyone's list so far.
Let' see:
Manuel de Falla / Ernesto Halffter: Atlántida
Igor Stravinsky: Canticum Sacrum
Pierre Boulez: Cummings ist der Dichter
Claude Debussy: Le Martyre de saint Sébastien
George Crumb: Star-Child
More Stravisnky would have made it on the list (Threni, Les Noces--even if defining the ensemble of four pianos and percussion as "orchestral" is perhaps pushing it a bit far--, Requiem Canticles, Zvezdoliki), but the Canticum towers over them all IMHO. Poulenc's Gloria and Walton's Te Deum are also favourites of mine, as are Cristóbal Halffter's Preludio para Madrid 92 and Officium defunctorum. Also, Charles Wuorinen's Mass for the Restoration of St. Luke in the Fields, Schoenberg's Die Jakobsleiter and Luigi Dallapiccola's Canti di Liberazione fit the bill (the small ensemble for the Canti di Prigionia might rule these out as well). I suppose that Honegger's Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, as a stage work, would not quailify (although the same could be said of Debussy's Martyre in its original garb). Then there's Enescu's Symphony No. 3...and Nono's Il canto sospeso, and Berio's Coro....and...and...the list of runner-ups might be intrerminable ::) :)

Both Britten's
War Requiem and Tippett's
A Child of Our Time could have easily made my list, but since we're
only allowed five choices, they would be further down the line.
Havergal Brian Symphony No.1 "Gothic"
Vaughan Williams A Sea Symphony
Franz Schmidt Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln
Bernard Herrmann Moby Dick
Arnold Schoenberg Jacob's Ladder

It is, quietly devastating in parts. Curiously, it's also the only piece by this composer that's widely known.

Just like the thread about 20th century orchestral works there are many great suggestions here. Again I would have trouble coming up with just five. There are so many great works for chorus and orchestra.
Three works that would be on my list that have not been mentioned yet:
Walton: Belshazzar's Feast
Bernstein: Chichester Psalms
Thompson: Testament of Freedom. I have performed this work several times. There is even a fantastic transcription for band. The text for the work were taken from writings of Thomas Jefferson. For me it is amazing on how Thompson could set to music straight text like "The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them." This is from the first movement.
Howard Hanson composed some great works for chorus and orchestra. One of my favorites is Song of Democracy.
There is also a work of Milhaud that blows me away: Les choëphores
An unusual work that the recording for is out of print is William Schuman's Concerto on Old English Rounds for Viola, Women's Chorus and Orchestra. One can find recordings of it on YouTube. Also one can find some of the old LP's on Amazon. I have a copy of the LP.
Janáček: Glagolitic Mass
Poulenc: Gloria
Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky
Lutoslawski: Twenty Polish Christmas Carols
Janáček: Eternal Gospel
BONUS CATEGORY FOR JUST SINGING "AHH"
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé (complete)
Pierné: Cydalise et le Chèvre-pied

Indeed, a great work!
Telal, telal, telal!
They are Seven! Seven!
In the depths of the ocean — seven of them!
High up in the heavens — seven of them! Seven!
In the mountains of Sunset seven are born, seven.
In the mountains of the East seven grow up, seven!
They sit astride thrones in the depths of the earth, the earth they sit.
Forcing their voice to thunder at the very summit peaks of the earth, the earth they do! Etc.
All the great favorites have been mentioned - War Requiem,Serenade to music,Glagolitic mass...Les Choéphores, Trois petites Liturgies.... Stenka Razin....
I'll add a few I actually listen to quite regularly:
Szymanowski: Harnasie
Gordon Crosse : Changes ( available on Lyrita)
Ohana: Cantigas
Ligeti: Requiem
Rosenberg: symphony nr 4
Well worth listening to: RVW's Sancta civitas and 5 Mystical songs, Alun Hoddinott Sinfonia fidei, Braunfels'Te deum (magical ending...), Milhaud Symphony nr 3 (Te deum), Koechlin Chant funèbre, Britten Cantata academica, Martinu's early (1918) blockbuster Czech rhapsody, Kitice....
And ,all very lovely and on YT : Malipiero's Mistero "San Francesco" and Pierné's "saint François" and Hermann Suter's oratorio Le laudi.... https://youtu.be/d17UquKzh0Q

Cannot agree (particularly the way you are going about it). A list may be meant as you say, but anyone who reads it (and is interested in exploring) will take it as such (a suggestion). I'm not sure why you are taking another member to task for this.
Szymanowski: Stabat Mater or Symphony No. 3
Schmidt: Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln
Brian: Symphony No. 1
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13
Boulanger: Du fond de l'abîme
But I've left just SO many out! - not least Busoni's Piano Concerto and Schönberg's Gurrelieder...

What part of 'Your Top 5 Favorite 20th Century Choral/Orchestral Works' do you not understand, Neal? What does favorite mean to you? Members here can do as they please (as they so often do), but for crying out loud this is a poll meant to reflect our individual choices. Anyway, let's not make this a big deal. I was just responding to something I thought was curious that's all.
choral w/ orchestra -
Dutilleux - The Shadows of Time
Ligeti - Clocks & Clouds
Messiaen - Trois petites liturgies de la présence divine
Schnittke - Requiem
Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms

It would be nice to have a modern, good sounding recording. In (I think) 2001 Werner Herbers and his Ebony Band did La mort d'un tyran with the Dutch Radio Ch Choir (that was an excellent performance!) but it gets very rarely performed, I'm afraid.
That same day ( A Milhaud day in Utrecht) Barba Garrido was performed, a really fun work for chorus and chamber orchestra - in Milhaud's most jolly, Mediterranean style.

A quite unique piece in his output, not really comparable to anything else he wrote. I enjoy it a lot, but I chose another Stravinsky work, because he wrote several great ones for this combination.
Schmidt: Book of the Seven Seals
Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms
Britten: War Requiem
Sallinen: Songs of Life and Death
I will add the Ligeti Requiem to complete my top FIVE.

About this oratorio by Schmidt, which recording do you recommend most?

Not so well-known is his final
Deutsche Auferstehung (German Resurrection) for soloists, choir, organ and orchestra from 1938–39, premiered in Vienna in 1940 and ending with a rousing ('Sieg Heil!') glorification of the new Reich. Things are a bit more complicated than that, however, and there are good reasons to exempt Schmidt - who was partly Slovak-Hungarian and even Hungarian speaking after all - from his alleged nazism.

Yes, I've been reading about this. Apparently most of his musical friends were Jewish and he recommended, to a group of Nazi supporting students, that they look at an Overture on Jewish Themes written by one of his jewish students. He apparently gave up working on the 'German Resurrection' to compose a work for Paul Wittgenstein the Jewish born pianist who had lost an arm in the First World War. It seems that Schmidt was rather naive and was used by the Nazis rather than being a true supporter.
