French composer Pierre Arvay (1924–1980) wrote several pieces of library music for the ocarina. One of these – ''Merry ocarina'' – became well known in the UK when it was used as a regular musical segment in the BBC children's programme ''[[Vision On]]'', broadcast between 1964 and 1976.<ref>[https://pierrearvay.fr/en/musiques/1/all/ocarina Pierre Arvay: music]</ref>

Hungarian-Austrian composer [[György Ligeti]] (1923–2006) called for four ocarinas (to be performed by woodwind players doubling their own instruments) in his [[Violin Concerto (Ligeti)|Violin Concerto]], completed in 1993. In 1974, the Polish composer [[Krzysztof Penderecki]] (1933–2020) incorporated 12 ocarinas in his composition ''[[The Dream of Jacob]]''. Later, he incorporated 50 in the final section of his [[Symphony No. 8 (Penderecki)|Symphony No. 8]], completed in 2008, where they are meant to be played by members of the choir.
