Dan and Keith have it down. Quite frequently with instruments with extended range....you'll see several clefs used. In
the case of basset horn....treble and bass clefs are frequently used and in the same work. Composers will switch back
and forth to make the reading of the work easier for the musician. This was the case in the Masonic funeral music.
