This Praetorius setting is an authentic Easter motet for SATB, and its accessible, mostly stepwise writing keeps the soprano line comfortably in a moderate range — ideal for a choir that needs to stay below G5. At roughly 2–3 minutes it fits your duration target and works beautifully as a liturgical Easter piece or a teaching introduction to imitative counterpoint.

Johann Walter's Easter motet is a distinct work from the Praetorius setting and offers a Reformation-era alternative for the same occasion. Its clear, unornamented SATB lines and modest vocal demands suit developing choirs, and the 3–4 minute span matches your requested length while keeping the soprano tessitura gentle.

Morales's Regina coeli is a joyful Eastertide motet for SATB that fits your seasonal need directly. The flowing, stepwise Renaissance writing avoids extreme high notes, making it manageable for the sopranos, and its roughly 2-minute length can serve as a concise Easter anthem or a companion piece alongside a longer motet.
