Holy Top Tones! Altissimo Eb on soprano sax? Are contemporary composers actually writing parts that go that high on soprano sax, or do jazz guys solo up there? My playing is pretty much limited to theater pits, and only on rare occasion have I seen any altissimo on sax and never anything close to that high. I do remember the “Megamix” version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat had a bunch of altissimo Gs on alto. But on soprano, and I’ve done a fair number of shows that called for soprano, I don’t remember seeing anything above a F6.

Considering most modern sopranos are keyed up to F#6, if not G6, what kind of music are you playing that calls for altissimo on soprano sax?
