Soprano:
flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, Soprano Saxophone.
Alto:
english horn, Alto Saxophone.
Tenor:
Tenor Saxophone, alto clarinet (despite its name, it is usually used as a tenor instrument).
Bass:
bassoon, contrabassoon, bass/contrabass clarinets, baritone saxophones.
Of course, since woodwind instruments typically have a greater range than human voices, there is considerable overlap between parts. Bassoons frequently play the tenor part, and clarinets often play the alto part.
