Louis Langrée and the CSO, along with Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic and former member of the CSO, recorded this performance of Anthony Davis' You Have the Right to Remain Silent in 2020. The work is inspired by the composer’s personal experience with law enforcement and weaves together the Miranda warning, in rhythmic spoken word, with music in a powerful presentation.

Contra-alto clarinet has its moment in front of the orchestra. Only Prof. Davis could conceive such a voice for the hidden voiceless. I played contrabass and am jealous.
Looking forward to hearing this live with the LA Phil New Music Group on April 16

Quite interesting. How much of it is improvised?
Also, the rhythmic spoken parts sound oddly inhuman with the muffling caused by COVID masks; but the musicians don't really deliver their lines convincingly and their phrasing sounds a bit stiff. What if they'd recruited a rapper, or a small chorus of rappers to speak those lines? That might not require music-reading; note that the synth/EFX guy has a prompter with a score next to him to cue him in and out, so that prompter could have done the same for the rappers.
