Euphonium Solo requiring a straight mute?

[Aspiringeuphplayer]

The sound of a straight mute euphonium is really growing on me. So, is there any solos that allow me to use the mute? I like the violin-ish tone that it produces.

Gordon Jacob: Fantasia. It was a historic piece for our instrument and is the first I know of to call for a straight mute.

Thom Ritter George's Sonata has a short section with mute in the second movement.

I believe the Philip Wilby Concerto for Euphonium contains some performance involving a straight mute. I think it's the third movement. There's a brilliant recording of David Thornton on euphonium performing said concerto.

The second movement of the Allen Feinstein concerto for euphonium uses a stright mute for a time to depict an eclipse with the orchestra/ piano, it's a relaly fun song.
