The rising cadence of the Robbers' Retreat could be one.
The curious rhythms of Famous Flower of Serving Men might be another.
It's Scottish, but the falling cadence in Henry Martin deserves consideration.
The tune may be Victorian, but the Lykewake Dirge ought to be in there.
A well known modal (I think it's Mixolydian)is Reynardine - but IMHO the origins of the song are French.
