 Arias for Tenor/Baritone, clarinet and orchestra?
Author: Kalashnikirby

So our community orchestra's conductor decided to have me play some sort of solostic part with voices, as we have a baritone and a tenor to perform 3-4 pieces with us, only she doesn't have any idea what'd be not much longer than 5 minutes and suitable for the orchestra's (strings, classical wind section) skills.
For example I figured that a certain Tosca aria would be a sort of way too "heavy" music for our orchestra, besides there's no bass clarinet, or rather the fact that I can't split myself into 2 clarinetists, and certainly no harp.
I came across Mozart's "Secondate, aurette amiche"which might be just right, but I don't necessarily want to rely on the 2nd clarinet right now.
Most of the interesting arias (that I'd know of!) with clarinet solo parts are unfortunately written for a soprano, for examle "Parto! ma tu ben mio" from La Clemenza di Tito.
Does someone have a suggestion? As a reference, our orchestra will be more than busy enough with Beethoven's 7th, so the piece shouldn't be too technically demanding. I'd be very grateful for some advice.

Best regards,
Christian
