If it were a capella or a soloist, no problem, but this? I, and the one making the commission, don't know the size of the chorus... so that just adds another layer, all for a steak dinner.

To be frank, that blows at best. I'm sorry for that, sir. Good luck :/

Edit: you could just write random crap and call it Schönberg Obviously not do-able for a primary/secondary chorus.
