Off the top of my head: * Any work by Grazyna Bacewicz * Poulenc's Les Animaux modeles and Concert champetre * Any Piston symphony other than the fourth * Any orchestral work by Arnold Rosner * Vaughan Williams's Concerto Grosso, Old King Cole, or Partita for Double String Orchestra * Bloch's Symphony in Eb, Violin Concerto, or Concerto symphonique * Yardumian's Passacaglia, Recitative, and Fugue * Bartok's Cantata profana * Bruckner's Helgoland * Gould's Spirituals for Orchestra * Honegger's Symphony No. 1 * Stravinsky's Violin Concerto * Schoenberg's Weihnachtsmusik 1921 * Hindemith's Symphony in Bb * Debussy's Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien or 3 Villon Ballads Dream on.
