=== Orchestra === The contrabass clarinet is a very rare visitor to the standard symphony orchestra as a member of the clarinet section, and most orchestra pieces that call for contrabass clarinet feature the instrument as a soloist. Still, there have been occasional additions to the orchestral repertoire that feature the contrabass clarinet, including ''[[On the Transmigration of Souls]]'' by [[John Adams (composer)|John Adams]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=John Adams - On the Transmigration of Souls |url=https://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Adams-On-the-Transmigration-of-Souls/26239 |access-date=2024-12-09 |website=www.boosey.com}}</ref> ''[[Amériques]]'' by [[Edgard Varèse]], and ''La Terre est un homme'' by [[Brian Ferneyhough]], which all call for contrabass clarinet as a part of their expanded woodwind sections.<ref>{{Cite web |title=La Terre est un homme |url=https://brahms.ircam.fr/en/work/la-terre-est-un-homme |access-date=2024-12-09 |website=brahms.ircam.fr}}</ref>
