Choral piece by Britten?

There was a piece I sang a few years back, and I could swear it was by Britten, but I can't find it. It's a setting of a sacred text about the Virgin Mary, but wasn't Ave Maria. It was for two choirs; one large, singing in English, and one small (I think of just one voice per part), singing in Latin. I can't remember what the piece is called. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Yes, indeed.

    It's titled "Hymn to the Virgin". He wrote it in 1930, when he was 17.
