Flute/oboe concerto slow movements (on recorder)

[GanChan]

First, apologies if this belongs in the Beginners or Performance forums....Anyway, I'm picking up the recorder again after learning the very basics of alto and soprano as a kid, and this time I want to play the tenor (just for my own fun, not for an audience). I'd like to try playing some of the classical flute or oboe literature on it -- slow, simple movements especially, or at least until I can get my fingers working. Can you recommend any specific pieces that stay comfortably within a 2 octave range (middle C to high C) and would, in your opinion, make a nice effect on the tenor recorder?

Simple art songs and arias might sound nice on this instrument also...."Ombra Mai Fu," "Caro Mio Ben" etc..... Or perhaps some Dowland....

J.S. Bach: Oboe Concerto, BWV 1056 (I think the original key is C minor, but there's a D minor version, and also a G minor version that might run a little high for a tenor recorder--unless you're Michala Petri in disguise )
Alessandro Marcello: Oboe Concerto in D minor
Tomaso Albinoni: Oboe Concerto in G minor
Georg Philip Telemann: Oboe Concerto in C minor (Telemann wrote a lot of nice oboe music)
You might even try the slow movement of the Mozart Oboe Concerto (K.314); I don't think that would be too hard for a tenor recorder.  But you might wait a while to try the Brandenburg Concertos; even their slow movements are pretty demanding.
