They're generally referred to as "Arias" or "recitatives" in opera, rather than "songs" (though you may get that from some of the 20th century English composers)
Anyway, I love Ligeti
This is three arias from his opera "Le Grande Macabre" stitched together:

These aren't operas but ballets, but i love The Firebird by Stravinsky and Gayaneh by Khachaturian
Lux Aeterna is just as beautifully eerie too, along with his work on 2001: a Space Odyssey.They're generally referred to as "Arias" or "recitatives" in opera, rather than "songs" (though you may get that from some of the 20th century English composers)

He didn't work on 2001 (rather several of his works where used on it) but regardless, I agree. His Requiem for choir and orchestra is a truly amazing work, as is his Lux Aeterna!
I love his later Concertos and piano works too
Stravinsky is awesome, his late works are my favorite (including his oratorio "The Flood"). He's got some cool pieces written in those early years, other than just The Firebird and Rite Of Spring, like:
(which is not an opera, unlike The Nightingale but instead a bunch of short songs)
