Good old Jackie Bear! It is saxophones? Ibert - Concertino da camera, for alto saxophone Debussy wrote a rapsodie (arranged from one for cor anglais, or perhaps that was the other way around) |

Hindemith - Trio for heckelphone (or tenor saxophone), viola & piano, Op. 47
Debussy – Rapsodie for saxophone
Ibert – Concertino da camera, for alto saxophone & 11 instruments
Coates – Saxo Rhapsody for alto saxophone & orchestra
Not sure of a Strauss link, but his Oboe Concerto has been arranged for sax, but not by RS, I would have thought.

The Symphonia Domestica has a whole quartet of saxes in the orchestra, doesn't it? I can't say I've ever actually heard them though.

Good call, Richard. Five saxophones are included in the scoring.

Er, I was of the belief that there were only 4 saxes in the Domestica... but they just double other things anyway so Strauss made them optional. They're also in the old 'melody keys' in the score - F and C rather than Eb and Bb.
I mean, yes, the guy was an orchestrational genius, but as far as saxes go he wasn't what you would call overly clued-up.

Now that I've sobered up I've tried to relieve the headache with reading, but that made it worse.
I did, however, find a musical connection (not instrumental) for:
Frescobaldi
Pasquini
Handel
Vivaldi
Delius
