want to be more "cutting-edge", Barber's Knoxville is finding favor w/
tenors finally. You can never go wrong with myriad of choices given us by
Britten. Good luck, I hope this gets you started.

Britten: Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. I would assume that there
are more works by Britten for tenor and orchestra but am not sure.
If you're willing to share the bill with a good contralto, there is always
Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" (still one of the best reasons to BE a
contralto)
I don't recall the title, but there is at least one Mozart concert aria for
tenor and orchestra.
There are some Strauss songs for high voice which have been orchestrated.
I've heard them done by sopranos but is there any reason a tenor couldn't do
them?
You can, of course, always do a selection of arias from opera or operetta.
Wish I could be more help!

addition to the origional accompanyment for piano and string quartet. Other
Britten suggestions include Les Illuminations and the Nocturne.

Windgassen and later Jerusalem have done it, so it is possible

Williams(sp) cycles are found in med. high keys. Griffes-Three Poems by
Fiona McLeod is available in the high key. That's all I can think off
hand. Have fun!

Britten, of course! The big three are the Serenade, Les Illuminations, and
Nocturne. Illuminations is with strings only, Serenade has a horn player
as co-soloist, and Nocturne requires seven obliggato players, mostly winds.
Nocturne is a sort of later reconsideration of the themes in Serenade, and
the two cycles are often programmed together.
Just as good is The Curlew, by Peter Warlock, to texts by Yeats. Gorgeous,
lyrical, sad -- and less idiosyncratic in subject and style than Britten.
Karol Szymanowski wrote some attractive "Moorish" music for tenor and
orchestra. I've got a cheap disc that includes the "Love Songs of Hafiz"
and "Songs of the Infatuated Muezzin".

Burton's Songs of the Tulpehocken (sp?) was recorded by Kenneth Riegel
and the Louisville Orchestra. A biiiig piece, lasting over 40 minutes as I recall.
I haven't listened to it in years. I think it was sung in a Pennsylvania Dutch
dialect.
