Hi,
I go to a small university in Nova Scotia, and I don't have much opportunity to play my contra alto at all - I can't join the school band (schedule issues), and there aren't enough clarinets to make an ensemble. So I was wondering if there was any Tuba or Eb Contra Alto Clarinet solo music anywhere in existence... or if there was easily adaptable clarinet music. I need to practice, but I only have tuba parts to big pieces, and they just don't sound right, and I definitely can't perform them by myself!
If anyone could help, that would be great!
Thank you!

For works with piano accompaniment, you can try bari or even alto sax music. The bari sax stuff is more likely to stay in the range you want to play in.

If you know the transposition trick (read bass clef as treble clef, add 3 sharps or delete 3 flats), and don't mind playing non-band music, then music for violoncello offers a vast repertoire for solo stuff.

Or bassoon music (except you'd have to figure out the tenor clef transposition for those instances when the bassoon gets up there).
