I have a friend who is a soprano and we are wanting to play a piece for clarinet/piano/soprano. I noticed on a few sheet music websites that there is a piece by Cooke (Arnold, I'm asuming).
Has anyone heard this piece? If so, how is it? The only pieces by Cooke I've heard are the clarinet concerto, sonata, and quintet, and I love those three pieces (and judging from them, his style seems pretty consistent).
I noticed a lot of Mozart arrangements, all of which I'm sure would be great and Mozarty... I thought a piece like by Cooke might be more unique and original. Let me know what y'all think!

You might give a listen to Der Hirt Auf dem Felsen (the Shephard on the rock)...Franz Schubert.

Sorry- the piece by Arnold Cooke is called "Three Songs of Innocence", with texts by William Blake.
Tobin mentioned Schubert's Der Hirt auf dem Felsen. Of course you should look at that. It's such an obvious choice I didn't even mention it!

Yes, the Cooke, "Three Songs of Innocence" is wonderful work for soprano, clarinet and piano. It is written for the A clarinet, but I remember performing the first movement in college on my Bb.

The Cooke piece is a pleasant resident of the repertoire for soprano, clarinet and piano. It's also nice to occasionally program this lighter piece instead of the ubiquitous (albeit great) Schubert mentioned above.
