My wife is a soprano, and we're looking for something nice to play together for her choir's fundraiser. We've looked at Bottesini's aria tutto il mondo, it's very nice and is certainly a good option. But, I wonder what else might be out there, I'm not finding much. What have folks here played duo with a soprano, perhaps with piano accompaniment?

Something fun that I did on a friend's recital with her was the Two Jazz Songs by Betty Roe. Fun and not too heavy.

Best,

Thanks, Brian. "Not too heavy" is probably perfect. This is a cocktail and appetizer kind of event, lots of chatting and milling around. Someone on TB mentioned baroque arias with basso continuo. One of each could be a nice contrast.
