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
