Where does the oboe sit in the orchestra?

Answer 1

It depends on the orchestra you are in! The director places the instruments in a particular order for the best blend of sounds produced by the orchestra. Typically, a symphony orchestra does not have parts for saxophones, however when the music calls for a Saxophone to be played, the saxophone generally fits into the woodwind sections with the clarinets, flutes, oboes, and bassoons.

Answer 2

Usually, the Oboe sits in the middle of the Flutes (on the left of the oboe) and the Clarinet (on the right). Only if its one oboe player.

If it is more than two they would sit in the middle (same place as one, above)

Its is to your band director discretion.

Answer 3

The saxophone is not a standard member of a symphony orchestra. It was invented in Beethoven's time, but didn't begin to be used in symphonic music until the late 19th century. When a piece calls for saxophones, they sit in the center with the woodwind section, placed according to the wishes of the conductor.

Answer 4

Somewhere in the audience, as orchestras generally don't use a baritone sax.

Answer 5

In the audience. There is almost never a Baritone Saxophone in orchestra.

Answer 6

Most orchestral music doesn't use a saxophone, but for the occasional pieces that do, the sax usually sits next to the clarinets.
