Simple Polyphonic Latin Mass Settings for Soprano and Alto

    I've not much (really, not any) experience doing polyphonic Masses since I don't have the means to do that stuff anyway, but someone I know has asked me to find some Mass settings, in Latin, that are polyphonic, yet simple to sing. They only have female voices, so I guess that would be soprano and alto. I don't believe they have anyone who can get down to tenor. Does anyone know of any that would work for this? I'd appreciate some help because I'm not familiar with anything in particular.

    A CPDL multi category search with Genre=Mass and Voicing=SA yields 16 results, none of which surpass the Messe Breve by Delibes, let alone the Messe basse by Fauré.

    There's also the Misa Viscaina from the California Mission music collection. I'm not sure if any of it is on cpdl, but we sing the Sanctus/Benedictus and the Agnus Dei occasionally. It's extremely easy.
