Dear Daniel,



You might try Lester Trimble's "Four Canterbury Tales". The work is a classic. While it's scored for clarinet in addition to soprano, flute and harpsichord, you could conceivably arrange the clarinet part for cello. It's not an easy piece, but it's gorgeous!



Good luck in finding something worthwhile!

Subject: modern ensemble pieces?



Hello there,



Say, I'm trying to convince some colleagues of mine to do a modern piece as

part of a special program in October.  Would anyone have any suggestions?



Harpsichord, soprano, Baroque flute or recorder (same person does both of

those), one Baroque violin (sometimes we can hire a second Baroque

violinist), and Baroque cello or viola da gamba (same person does both of

those)



It'd be nice to find something all or most of us could play on, though

maybe not necessarily.  Also, it be good to find pieces that are not better

suited to modern strings and modern flute (and to a non-historical

harpsichord).



I haven't found much yet.  Do people have recommendations?



Anyway, thanks a lot!



Best,



Daniel Corneliussen
