Quartet from Chess You're Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through form Follies Tonight from West Side Story Four Jews In A Room Bitching from Falsettos Overture Della Donna from Nine (I'm not sure if this would be considered though)

"You mean the whole rapping against the singing? I like that."
Well, at least on the demo, each character in the number has their own different verse about what they'd do if they won the lottery (relatively speaking; two verses are related but not specifically "if I won the lottery") and then there is this great counterpoint where all of the verses are sung together.
But to specifically answer your question, yes there is rapping and singing going on at the same time.
RENT has some quality moments (specifically "Another Day"), and the new quartet of "If Only" from The Little Mermaid sounds wonderful from what they show on the clip. I didn't even think about "For Good," Sally! A very good example.
We sang a song in choir called "Freedom Triligy." It mixed two different African chants/songs with "Amazing Grace." That was a blast.
I've had the Act I finale from "See What I Wanna See" stuck in my head for days... Any Sondheim counterpoint is quality counterpoint, although it's kind of a cliche (c.f. Forbidden Broadway, "Into the Words.")
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
That reminded me a lot of "The Whale Who Wanted To Sing at the Met" from the 1946 Disney film "Make Mine Music." He had three different "uvuli" which could allow him to sing different ranges at one time (tenor, baritone, and bass). This could allow him to sing three parts of the sextet from "Lucia di Lammermoor" by Donizetti. Another great example of counterpoint, in my opinion!
"How could she just suddenly, completely disappear into thin water?" - The Little Mermaid
I absolutely love Kiss Me Quartet. I can listen to it over and over again without getting bored! I also love Quartet: You'll Go Away With Me from See What I Wanna See. I would also have to agree with If Only quartet. I am a sucker for quartets, what can I say?
I have to agree with "Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You?" from THE MUSIC MAN, love it! Then there's "96'000" which does have that great moment when all the different people sing their verses, it starts with Karen Olivo's part against Lin-Manuel's rapping, and then everyone joins in, it's so good. There's also the "Tonight Quintet" from WEST SIDE STORY. "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through" is perfection. How about "Trio" from PASSION, that might possible be my favorite along with all the moments in CAROLINE, OR CHANGE (The "Moon Trio," the Act I finale, and the sequence right after "I Hate the Bus" with Emmie, Rose, and Stuart singing).
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Tower of Babble from Godspell is one of my faves!!!!so clever - anyone who reckons Schwartz can't write a note has to listen to that (particularly the London cast recording, its clean and doesn't have the more modern orchestrations that are a bit bizarre)
i love christmas bells if it's done right
can i also add in Sounds of Selling from She Loves Me therapy from Tick Tick Boom - there's some other great harmony stuff there (stephen oremus is a genius)but its not all necessarily counterpoint Poor Baby and Have I got a Girl for You from Company
