The Saxophone is usually used as a member of a jazz or wind ensemble. There are a few symphonic works that include music for saxophone (e.g. Dukas' Sorcerer's Apprentice), and a number of concertos featuring saxophone as a soloist, the majority of the standard works for orchestra do not include saxophone. Outside of jazz, the sax family (including the standard tenor sax and the larger baritone, and sometimes others) is used most commonly in wind ensembles and Marching Bands.
Symphony orchestras usually have a couple of clarinets. Concert bands have several (sometimes many), dixieland combos generally have a Clarinet and many jazz combos have a reed player who sometimes plays clarinet. Swing band's (aka big band) sax players generally double on clarinet on some numbers. There are also clarinet choirs, and other woodwind combinations that include clarinets.
Wind bands, orchestras, dance bands (from my experience only in some pieces though) groups playing jazz........
they play in ensembles ranging from me to poo...
