If nobody has mentioned them yet, here are a few suggestions:

Paul Harvey - Satirical Suite (Schott) light and cute
Walter Skolnik - Serenade in F (Tenuto [Theodore Presser]) 20th
C. but easy on the ears
W.O. Smith - Jazz Set (Universal) light and short but definitely
atonal (and challenging).
I don't know if they'll accept 'hausmusick' but Telemann wrote some
nice canonic duets for two treble instruments (usually played on
flutes).
Devienne - Duo Concertante #3 (Diletto Musicale from DOBLINGER)
classical and quite good, if not quite to Mozart standards.
Conradin Kreutzer - Duo in C (Eulenberg) also classical era and
quite good, if not...
Ben Paisner - Swing Duets (POP - I may have the only extant copy!)
Cute for an encore

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
