Trevor:
Try to find "Excelsior" by Balfe. A bit corny, but a darn good sing -
and I always enjoyed accompanying it too.
One source is The Parlour Song Book. (Don't know if it's available in
the US, or who the publisher would be)
It's also contained in a book brought out in the 80s, which is possibly
called The Dicky Bird and the Owl (or maybe something more boring like
Victorian Ballads and Duets) to coincide with a series of concerts and
recordings by Robert Tear and Ben Luxon. There are several such pieces
there, and some solos in the same genre if your singers feel like
expanding one duet into an entire set.
cheers,
Linda
