List
of Recommended Repertoire for Bb
Tenor saxophone
(with piano unless specified)
Many of the great pieces in the repertoire are concertos for solo
sax with orchestra or band, and most of these have piano reductions,
so be sure to have a look at my concerto list for more music for tenor.
Still more tenor pieces can be found in the unaccompanied and sax/tape/electronics
lists. I have indicated some of the most popular pieces of standard
tenor repertoire by typing the titles in green.
