    My youth schola knows the Missa de Angelis and the Missa Orbis Factor, as well as the simplex Mass.

    Any thoughts on the next Mass they could profitably learn?

    I would recommend doing Mass XVII next, as it generally used for Advent and Lent. It also has the benefit of having no Gloria.
    Mass I would also be nice, because it is the standard for Easter.
    If you are doing a lot of Marian feasts, Mass IX could be a good challenge. The Kyrie is splendid, and is not one which merely repeats each invocation. The Gloria uses a wide range in mode 7.
    These seem to be the more commonly done Masses.
