St Andrew

Viola

Though English, I live and work in Scotland, where November 30th is the Solemnity of St Andrew, the patron saint. We will be having sung Vespers, followed by Mass.
Does anyone have a suggestion, please, for a suitable motet/anthem that our choir could do without too much hard work as we are also busy preparing for Advent/Christmas. We expect to have about a dozen people, SATB.
We have hymns: When Christ our Lord to Andrew cried, and Great St Andrew, friend of Jesus, and we will sing a chant Mass, plus the introit and Communion antiphons.
Thankyou!

Exultet Orbis by Delfino Thermingon is SSA but it's respectable. Or there's the setting by Horak if you want to achieve the full-on Romantic sound.

A friend in an Ordinariate parish offers some suggestions:

If he’s got the forces, here’s an 8-parter by Crecquillon: score at IMSLP

AR Editions publishes this 6-parter by J Maillard, VIDIT DOMINUS PETRUM ET ANDREAM:

And, although the style may be more challenging, there’s Dufay’s APOSTOLO GLORIOSO:
