I heard a recording of Gliere's 'Four Pieces for Horn' and wonder if it's feasable if played on basset horn (and adding an extra word to the title, but not taking anything away from it).
Neither having a recording (which isn't listed at amazon.co.uk, though it is on amazon.com for US customers) nor the sheet music, I'm wondering just how much of it is in the throat area (and the overall range - if it doesn't go below written B below the treble clef for an F instrument, then it could be played on cor anglais too. Still preserving the 'horn' motif).

Can't help I'm afraid... just an association of ideas... don't hear the name Gliere often. Have a transposition of Gliere 'cello duets for bass clt and bassoon. RT

Interesting, might it be suitable for all of these differing-tonality reed insts, perhaps including even my alto clarinet?? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
