Fun, good sounding trios/quartets?

I was looking through some old music that was given to me to play around with. One was a couple of sheets of paper stapled together with various clarinet trio/quartet shorts. Just a short thing here or there that sounded great when put together. Just short pieces that lasted maybe a minute or two. Ranging from a christmas piece, to variations on the "London Bridge Falling Down" theme, and EVEN a small short theme from Peter and the Wolf (with the melody in the first clarinet, and two harmony lines in second and third).

Can anyone recommend some sort of variety/compilation trio or quartet book? (I'd like to stay away from duets because I think trios or quartetrs just offer SO much more depth).

The plan? To maybe find two people, go to NYC, set up in a subway or corner of some block and just toot around for a short while. Then maybe we'll grab some lunch (depending on how well we play it could range from a shared package of toasted nuts to maybe even a package EACH!!!!) And then maybe leave and go home.

In the meantime maybe we'll have brightened some tourist's day or just gotten someone interested THAT much more in music.

Any ideas on some compilation booklet? Just of short things? Maybe one that encompasses various genres (classical, kids music, christmas, whatever)

And if I can't find people to go with me (which has a high chance of happening), at least I'll have some fun stuff to noodle around with and maybe bring here or there if there are going to be other musicians around.

Thanks in advance.
