I wouldn't want to say something foolish, but there should be something by Morricone, for Filicorno soprano and wind orchestra

Try to contact Izabela Szlachetko via Facebook (or other powerful means), she has several little things with the pf in her repertoire

I only found this, but I don't know it, so I am unaware of the stylistic aspect

Camille (for Soprano Cornet only) ( A. Naignein)

D . Ellinghton Sophisticad Lady (harp and flugelhorn)

A. Vizzutti The Enchanted Trumpet (harp and flugelhorn)

Anywhere U.S.A. (harp and flugelhorn)

E. Morricone Gabriel's oboe (harp and flugelhorn)

A. Vizzutti One Night in Paris (harp and flugelhorn)

H. Arlen Over the Raimbow (harp and flugelhorn)

you can also look within the scope of English Christmas music. Ensembles often feature the soprano flugelhorn. A fantastic instrument that I would like to learn sooner or later. After 39 years of piano, I started taking trombone lessons 2 months ago ... who knows ...

Probably useful regarding possible new music for Soprano Flugelhorn

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergej_Nakarjakov

Nakariakov personally requested and had the Parisian maker Antoine Courtois build a special 4-piston soprano flugelhorn, capable of descending an octave lower than the standard soprano flugelhorn and reaching cello registers.

In his 1999 CD Concertos for Trumpet, Nakariakov plays works famous for violin, viola, and cello, for example Haydn's famous Cello Concerto No. 1.

In his 2000 CD No Limit, Nakariakov plays Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme," originally for cello and orchestra.

He is the first trumpeter in the world to have ever performed works originally conceived for the cello.

I don't know if it is still needed because I haven't noticed any interventions from the topic author, perhaps it might be useful to others as well.

Just for fun, I would also go and listen to Stravinsky's Threni and Vaughan Williams' Ninth Symphony; they presented a longer "solo" than any other writing for brass before Tchaikovsky's Fifth.

Since I don't know the purpose of your piece, another example can be found in Respighi, whose cornetts in Pines of Rome serve simply to suggest the sounds of the Roman army.

A memorable effect can also be heard at the beginning of the third part of Damnation de Faust where it is used as an "almost natural" instrument; be careful to choose the right recordings as the cornet is often replaced by the trumpet.

Keep in mind that the soprano cornet has always been a bit unlucky and used by assigning it caricatural parts... obviously, I am referring to its history. Furthermore, it blends little with the sound of other instruments, so there is a risk that it might become tiresome. What duration did you have in mind?

Forgive my absence!

Anyway, I have read all your precious advice and I thank you.

@cromatismo:

the piece/pieces I have in mind will not be expansive; the intention is to create a series of interludes to be 'used' e.g., in cultural events, such as book presentations, etc. So no more than 3-4 min each. The instrumentation is the one mentioned, soprano flugelhorn and piano.

Hi, sorry for writing after all these years, but I came across your research and... I love the soprano flugelhorn and I am desperately looking for pieces to build a repertoire so that I can perform some concerts around... In the end, did you write those pieces you were talking about??

Thank you so much!!
