    I know of a smallish anthem attributed to GFHandel with a text titled "Advent Message" which is basically from Isaiah. Was a commercial publisher I'd look for at JWPepper.

    This page listing motets related to John the Baptist on CPDL might be a place to start.

    Among the easier ones are two of the motets in this collection by Diego de las Muelas.

    Wasn't John the Baptist (John 1:29) the one who first said: "Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi"?

    Elisabeth Zachariae by Francisco Guerrero is another one. It's on CPDL.
