What are some other good options for clarinet/piano/soprano?
Shepherd on the Rock is a great piece, not raggin' on it but I enjoy some variety.

A few years ago I did an entire recital with soprano and piano of pieces other than Shepherd on the Rock. Probably was quite boring for the audience! Anyway, here are some of the pieces we did that I think worked well:
Spohr: Six German Songs, Op. 103
Spohr: Recitative & Aria "Ich bin allein" from Faust
Cooke: Three Songs of Innocence
Jacob: Four Seasonal Songs
Bliss: Two Nursery Rhymes
Arnold: Beauty Haunts the Woods
G.A. Macfarren: A Widow Bird, and Pack Clouds Away
Paul Harris: Six Clerihew Songs
Andrew Lloyd Webber: Pie Jesu
David
Selmer Signatures, Backun barrels/bells, Greg Smith mpc

the Meyerbeer "Hirtenleid" or Shepherds Song is a goodie (originally for Basset Clarinet and Mezzo, but modern publications have it for normal b flat clarinet and Sop)

Garden of Weeds by Terrence Greaves is an amusing work for this combination.

Try this verision of Parto! Ma tu ben mio, from 'La Clemenza di Tito by Mozart.

The "parto" arrangement is for Mezzo soprano. I have done it with honest too goodness Sopranos, but some might whine about doing it.
A pretty neat piece is by Hovaness called "Saturn"-it is really out there.

There are also some nice pieces without the piano. Barney Childs has one called Seven Epigrams I think. I just thought you might be interested.

Mozart arias with clarinet obligatto (not ad libitum or "versions") are for mezzo.
I love Ned Rorem's Ariel... and there are two more pieces of Schubert (Totus in corde lanqueo and a little lied I cant remember the name right now).
And of course, there are a couple of works without piano: the Vaughan-Williams Vocalises and the Gordon Jacob Three songs (A clarinet).

I've performed the Schubert "Romance" and the Kaliwoda "Heimatlied" that are on a Fred Ormand CD. Both pieces are quite nice. Another decent piece on the CD that my trio chose not to perform (the Kaliwoda won out!) is the Kreutzer "Das Muhlrad." Here is a link to Ormand CDs on ArkivMusic:

If you are more ambitious and you also play bass clarinet, try Dominick Argento's "To Be Sung Upon the Water." This is an entire half of a recital! Ormand has also recorded this along with Ned Rorem's "Ariel." You've got to be really serious to perform Ariel but it is totally worth it.
For an entire program, look up Ricky Ian Gordon's "Orpheus and Euridice: A Song Cycle in Two Acts." It is simply brilliant. Todd Palmer has recorded it:

I hope some of these work for you!

Franz Lachner, "Seit ich ihn gesehen."

But be careful: there's a Schumann song for just soprano and piano that has the same title.

My theory teacher wrote a song cycle for clarinet/piano/soprano.
