Ensemble music for saxophone & wind

Welcome to the Saxpak site, where you will find an assortment of music for saxophone quartet, septet, wind band and ensemble, orchestra, big band, and clarinet ensembles.

These are by arrangers such as Ted White, Stan Sulzmann, Stephen Morland, and others.  Now it’s time to share them with you. We will be adding more pieces regularly, so look out for our new repertoire updates.

Saxpak came into being quite by chance at a concert by the London Sinfonietta at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1986. The programme that evening required the seven saxophones, one of whom was David White. He remembered a set of arrangements his father, Ted White, had written for a saxophone septet and invited his colleagues to run through them between rehearsals.  Conductor Sir Simon Rattle heard them and characteristically decided to include them in the concert. The somewhat bizarre interlude was so well received by the capacity audience that the players felt the performance should be repeated elsewhere.  There is an established repertoire for the saxophone quartet and many fine groups in existence, but a septet including the outer ranges of the family was a new departure.
