For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.4 part harmony? Most of this type of music follows certain rules. If you want a couple of excellent books -
Firstly, Bach's Riemenschneider. Any good music shop will know what you mean. This is full of Bach's choral music and will give you so much inspiration. The book must be a couple of hundred pages. Absolutely full of ideas. At least have a look.
Another one that deals with learning the style of writing is 'Coninuo playing according to handel - his figured bass exercises' - with commentry by David ledbetter.
Other than this, go to a local music shop and ask for any good books on writing harmony. It's all linked from vocal music back to organ etc.
Hope you crack it!
