Comments and Reviews

"I have to admit that as an ex-member of Saxtet, reviewing so much amazing new music for saxophone gave me a warm glow. Normally it takes a swim in a pool in Brunei without sun cream to do that so it was nice that there was no pain this time. We were often asked if we had sheet music after our gigs but I never imagined that it would lead to such an impressive repertoire list. Congratulations must go to Nigel Wood for guiding Saxtet Publications to the forefront of saxophone music publishing."
Gerard McChrystal, Clarinet & Saxophone Society (CASS) magazine

"Saxtet Publications…(provide) a whole range of high-quality repertoire for every level of player and ensemble. Certainly my saxophone group at the Royal College Junior Department would be very short of rehearsal and concert material without it.... SaxtetPublications.com is a very welcome addition to the ever-increasing number of music sites on the Internet and a must for every on-line player - put it in your Favourites folder now!"
Peter Nichols, Clarinet & Saxophone Society (CASS) magazine

"These arrangements are skilfully arranged, very well produced and should prove popular with all saxophone ensembles."
Clarinet & Saxophone Society (CASS) magazine

"The whole series is a welcome but different addition to the saxophone ensemble repertoire."

"...the ingenious arrangement of Bolero."

"...by far the most memorable were Saxtet's own compositions which were original both in style and harmonic structure, exploiting the full extent of the instrument's range of timbre and dynamics"
Birmingham Post, UK

"Saxtet Publications is a small company going from strength to strength, providing an ever-expanding range of clearly presented music for saxophone - all composed and arranged by enthusiastic and experienced players who have a real love and understanding of the instrument."

"Saxtet Publications... what a great site! Not only can I see the music, I can hear it too with the Scorch plug-in. Some pieces have Quicktime sound clips of saxophones performing to further help the selection process. Great customer service! I even wrote to ask questions about the music once I had it and got prompt responses. SaxtetPublications.com -- an innovative site for saxophone music with great people behind it."
Dan Ortega, USA client

"Saxtet is one of the best small publishers to appear on the scene in recent years. As the big companies gobble each other up, and seem to know less and less about the music they produce, Saxtet knows very well what it is doing. Their music is crafted for the saxophone by people who understand the instrument, their service is quick, and above all they put composer, title and instrumentation clearly on the cover. You would be surprised how rare that is."
June Emerson Wind Music, UK

"Saxtet Publications bietet ein phantastisches Programm auf professionelleste Art - kaum zu toppen!"
Liz Reinhardt, Herzogenaurach, Deutschland

"Saxtet Publications is a genuine treasure for professional saxophone quartets. The compositions are consistently of high quality, and they have good audience appeal."
Reginald Jackson, soprano saxophonist, Washington Saxophone Quartet, USA

"My ensemble, Saxpress, is greatly influenced by Saxtet and their arrangements. Saxtet music is both challenging for the musician, as well as entertaining for the listeners. The range of arrangements is also quite versatile, as we have used them for many different sorts of performances, ranging from weddings to public gigs to our own concerts. We have quite a respectable library of ensemble scores, but we've found the Saxtet pieces never stay untouched in the library for long. We always find ourselves performing them over and over again."
Bernard Choi, Saxpress, Singapore

"A very welcoming virtual meeting place for saxophonists of all nationalities and styles. It is interesting, informative, has a regularly updated newsletter and a great links page. I strongly recommend that you point your browser at it immediately and make sure you bookmark it. If you're serious about the saxophone, you'll want to visit often!"
Heather Reeve-Black, UK customer

"Saxtet Publications have been the mainstay of our programmes for ten years now. Whether it be original works or arrangements they are refreshingly different and sure-fire show stoppers. The educational materials are world-class as well - all the studies, duets and ensemble pieces have instant appeal and help to make teaching a breeze. The writing is idiomatic and imaginative and a real pleasure for audiences and players alike. Saxcess has had great satisfaction in performing Saxtet material in the great number of concerts presented throughout New Zealand and internationally over the past decade."

"I think that some of your music that you have put on this site is wonderful. I'm planning on getting my quartet together and buying a few of your songs. I'm also going to get myself a CD or two. Thank you so much. "

"I have found this website and its materials to be a great find for saxophone players. To everyone that looks for a piece I do recommend this site. "
