Saxophobia

Saxophobia by Rudy Wiedoeft, arranged for saxophone quintet (alto saxophone solo with SATB saxophone quartet accompaniment).

Written in 1918, Saxophobia became Wiedoeft's trademark and the largest-selling saxophone solo of its era; a defining piece of the “saxophone mania” that swept the United States and Europe in the 1920s. This arrangement brings that energy to the saxophone quintet, distributing accompaniment figures across the ensemble while keeping the virtuosic solo part intact.

Ideal for intermediate advanced high school and college saxophone quintets looking for a fun, historically significant concert opener or encore.
