How about the Caplet Mass for three voices?


Imant Raminsh has a wonderful mass setting for women's voices. Not
completely
a cappella Stephen Hatfield has a missa brevis setting that would work well.

I have a Sanctus and Agnus Dei for women's choir. If you are interested in
looking at the scores I will be happy to send you a copy.

Do you know the Villa Lobos Mass for Saint Sebastian?
Also, I forget which movements are included in Britten's Missa brevis.
Someone like Gretchaninoff has a treble Missa brevis too.

Sorry for these vague citations -- maybe they can be usefully combined with
someone else's information! Hope this helps -- I'd be interested to see a
compilation of answers you get.

What about the Faure "Messe Basse"? I can't recall whether it is
accompanied, but it is scored for women's voices, and it is fairly easy to
learn.

Lotti himself wrote a "Studentenmesse" for 3 parts (woman's choir). Of
course you can also take these two movements from Faure's Messe Basse, or,
maybe more difficult, Caplet's Messe (1922) for SSA.


Thanks to all who answered!
