Bass oboe in his Third Symphony (1960). Percy Grainger includes the bass oboe in Children's March and The Warriors. The bass oboe has not as yet come into its own as a solo instrument; only a single solo bass oboe concerto has been written to date ("The East Coast", by English composer Gavin Bryars, composed in 1994). The work was written for the Canadian performer Lawrence Cherney, who uses a bass oboe manufactured by F. Lorée. Two concerti have been written featuring the bass oboe in addition to the other four members of the oboe family, these works being David Stock's "Oborama"
