There is a work he wrote for wind ensemble...I don't remember the exact
title...we played it about two years ago, and my spanish is horrible. But
IIRC, the title translates roughly to "Concertpiece for Winds and
Percussion." I'm not well versed in Rodrigo's work (I have heard his
guitar concertos performed by our own orchestra), but if he doesn't have
any solo works, this may be as close as you get; it is essentially a duet
for the principal clarinettist and flute with wind ensemble
accompaniment.

A very soothing piece, nevertheless.
