Dreams of Symphonic Rock

I want to hear Floor Jansen, Sharon den Adel, and Charlotte Wessels singing Nightwish's "Bless the Child" (or pretty much any of the Nightwish opus) as a trio.  den Adel as descant/highest treble counterpoint, Jansen as main soprano, Wessels as contralto counterpoint/harmony.  There should be more great music for duets and trios. 

Full choruses, too, while I'm dreaming.  Not just solo + choral backup, which rock has some of, but baroque-type chorus work.  I was listening to the Orchestra of the Antipodes' Messiah recently.  They have a lovely, light touch and great balance between all the voices, and between chorus and orchestra.  More of that type of vocal and instrumental working together, please.
