Additionally, there is now a selection of chamber music that uses the piccolo. One example is Stockhausen's ''[[Samstag aus Licht#Scene 3: Luzifers Tanz|Zungenspitzentanz]]'', for piccolo and two euphoniums (or one synthesizer), with an optional percussionist and dancer. Another is [[George Crumb]]'s [[Madrigals, Book II]] for soprano, flute (doubling piccolo/alto flute), and percussion.  Other examples include a trio for piccolo, contrabassoon, and piano, 'Was mit den Tränen geschieht' by [[Stephen Hough]], the [[Piccolo Quintet|Quintet for Piccolo and String Quartet]] by [[Graham Waterhouse]], and ''Malambo'' for piccolo, double bass, and piano by [[Miguel del Aguila]]. Currently published trios for three piccolos include ''Quelque Chose canadienne'' (Something Canadian) by Nancy Nourse and ''Bird Tango'' by Crt Sojar Voglar for three piccolos with piano. ''Petrushka's Ghost'' for eight piccolos by Melvin Lauf, Jr. and ''Una piccolo sinfonia'' for nine piccolos by [[Matthew King (composer)|Matthew King]] are two more examples.
