What about taking some opera male choruses more or less wholesale.
Out of my head I seem to remember a sailors chorus from Wagner�s Der Fliegende Holl�nder and a soldiers chorus from Gounod�s Faust.
I am not 100% positive, but I seem to remember that O Isis und Osiris from Mozart�s Die Zauberfl�te has a 3 part male chorus. And then your bass tuba can do Sarastro�s solo in that aria.
If you want a real challenge, then let your quartet play the opening cello quartet of Rossini�s Wilhelm Tell overture.
