About the London Saxophone Choir
Members of the audience occasionally question the use of the word “Choir” in our name – after all, we don’t sing. The word has been used more generally to describe the “Brass Choir” or “Woodwind Choir” of an orchestra, stressing the vocal qualities of these wind instruments and for many years there have been Clarinet Choirs consisting of many different sizes of these instruments. The term choir is possibly even more appropriate for a group of Saxophones, arguably the most vocal of all wind instruments.
We use most of the Saxophone family in our instrumentation: the four most common Saxes form the backbone of our group, Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Baritones, with the tiny Sopranino and the majestic Bass Sax extending the range of the ensemble. As Altos and Tenors are more numerous than the other Saxes, we often have two groups of each filling out the middle harmonies.
