Rant... why is it that when I search The Internet for 'Woodwind Quintet' music... the hits that come back include horn in F???

I'm looking for music for a flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon ensemble. Am I searching for the wrong thing?

Technically Woodwind quintet is a misnomer. The original term was a Wind Quintet.

I don't think you will find much music for the ensemble you want. However, some quintets were written for Horn in Eb, so with an alto saxophonist you might be good on those...

This link might be of help:

You betcha!

BTW... if others are interested in putting together such a woodwind group... I was advised at community band last night that I need to specifically ask for arrangements for 'large woodwind ensembles' and the charts would also include all the saxophones.

What the hell would I know, anyway. I'm just a tuba player!
