I've found a community band to play with, and am wanting an excuse to get a bass sax again. I looked up some of the band standards on IMSLP.org (great site), and found that a lot of familiar pieces have bass sax parts in the original score. These include, for example:
Alford/ Colonel Bogey
Grainger/ Shepherd's Hey; Irish Tune
Holst/ First and Second Suites
Sousa/ Washington Post, Corcoran Cadets,
Sousa arr Gardner/ Stars and Stripes
Vaughan Williams/ English Folk Song Suite
The following pieces may or may not have bass sax parts, but do have contrabass sarrusophone:
Grainger/ Children's March
"/ Molly on the Shore
I think that bass sax parts were common in pre-WW2 arrangements - can some of you point me to others?
If this thread is a duplicate, maybe somebody can point me to the older version?
