That works great when the variable is invoked outside of a \relative 
expression, but not within it. Is there any way to modify the function so that 
it can be used this way?

\version "2.18.0"
myoctavate =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
   #{ \context Bottom << $music \transpose c c' $music >> #})

\relative { \myoctavate { a b c d } e f g a }
%% Instead of
\myoctavate \relative { a b c d e f g a }
