I am in search for contrabass clarinet solos and am not having much luck. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Contrabass solo? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Just kidding, there are probably one or two solos out there. Do you mean a solo in a band or orchestra arraingment, or a solo with piano accompanyment like you would play for an honors band audition? I can't help with the former, but if you are talking about the latter, I would suggest finding a good bass clarinet solo piece (Bozza's Ballade, for example) and using that. No transposition is necessary, it will just sound an octave lower (and therfore that much cooler) than if it was on the bass. Good luck!

Do a web search on the phrase "Contrabass clarinet solo" and you'll get lots of pointers.
