Wind Band: I remember needing a cup mute for a short section of Felicia Sandler's "Rose the Riveter" (I think the tubas also needed cup mutes too!)
In Donald Hunsberger's Star Wars Trilogy arrangement, I believe there's a brief straight mute section at the end of movement IV (Yoda's theme), during the transition into the final movement.
Orchestra: Richard Strauss' Ein Heldenleben and Don Quixote have several sections that require a straight mute in the tenor tuba part.
