Hi Adiemus,
My style is egyptian and I use veil not like a prop but more like an extension to my costume. Hope this makes sense. I use it in oriental routine for the malfouf /intro section. Other than some classical and folk songs, IMO you can use any piece of music that is suitable for veil. I have seen beautiful veil routines to egyptian classics like zeina and azeeza. You won't see an egyptian dancers do the whole dance with a veil though. I am sure some of the Amcab dancers in this forum may answer your question properly. If I am presenting a long routine I also use a veil and balancing routine. I choose the music that is different to tradtional music for these pieces. I personally like slow chiftetelli or arabic/new agey fusion style for veil and balancing.
Poodles!!! LOL, how cute is that, especially if the poodle can have the matching costume!!!
