Midnight Mass SAB Choral Piece suggestion?

acadia

We are pulling together an ad hoc choir for our NO candlelit Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Expecting 15 voices, evenly split between S, A and B. Using the Missa de Angelis because some of us already know it and we only have 2 rehearsals. Would really appreciate any suggestions for a SAB arrangement choral piece that would be appropriate after Communion on that night. Lovely but not too challenging because we have limited rehearsal time and everyone is busy. Thank you so much!

This is just AB but may be what you want:

I thought that the Ave Verum text goes well with both Christmas and post-Communion.

Acadia, I have a score you may be interested in . . . PM me.

StimsonInRehab

Jesu Redemptor Omnium - Ravanello, w/chant

Incardination

Several options...

Along the lines of Stimson, Iesu Redemptor by Stadlmayr.
I have a version of Resonet that I think is very effective, alternating ladies and men.
Something relatively simple but with some zing is Gaudete.

Incardination

Sorry - Iesu Redemptor is SATB and won't work without T. Gaudete is also SATB, but could still be done SAB. Resonet is unison, but could be split between voices as mentioned before.
