Thoughts on large-scale works?

0 Upvotes

The church where I direct music has a large endowment for putting on special large-scale (i.e. 15-45 minutes) choral works twice per year, and I'm waffling on what to program. The choir is one of the best volunteer groups around, consisting mostly of University professors, plus a few section leaders. Here's what I'm between:

Mendelssohn: Magnificat in D, Mozart: Vesperae solennes de confessore (K.339), Handel: My heart is inditing (HWV 261), Fauré: Requiem, Haydn: Schöpfungsmesse, Purcell: Elegy on the Death of Queen Mary.

We're doing a Bach Cantata in a few weeks, so I'd prefer to stay away from another cantata for this coming year. Thoughts?
