With energetic dance and the sound of saxophone, this track is guaranteed to get the crowd going.

My Dear LifeWatanabe Sadao

Sadao Watanabe – My Dear Life

It’s a jazz ballad-style piece.

The rich alto saxophone melody can resonate through the audience to their very core, and by the latter half it brings tears to the eyes.

The difficulty is on the higher side, but it’s a piece you’ll want to hear to your heart’s content performed by a full band.

HEROMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Hero (Official HD Video)

It’s a song that naturally draws everyone in.

It’s often performed at weddings.

I think it resonates even more when played at weddings for couples in their thirties and up.

With its grand sound, it pairs exceptionally well with the saxophone.

Hard To Say I’m SorryCHICAGO

Hard To Say I’m Sorry – Chicago [in the style of Barry Manilow] -(Saxophone Cover by James E. Green)

A song released by Chicago in 1982.

It was produced by David Foster, who is well known for his orchestral arrangements, and the melodic lines created by him and Chicago—who have long made extensive use of horn sections—fit seamlessly into a sax arrangement as well.

Careless WhisperGeorge Michael

Sexy Sax Man Careless Whisper Prank feat. Sergio Flores (directors cut)

This is the song that the Sexy Sax Man, who was once a hot topic on YouTube, would suddenly start playing in supermarkets and shopping malls.

It’s so widely recognized as a classic saxophone piece that you might score big if you perform it as a gag dressed like the Sax Man.

Why not be brave and add some flair to your friend’s or your own wedding reception?

A Whole New WorldRegina Belle & Peabo Bryson

a whole new world – aladdin – soprano saxophone & piano

This song, A Whole New World, which was sung as part of the 1992 film Aladdin and is a classic wedding song, also sounds wonderful on the saxophone.

I think the soprano saxophone suits it best.

Be sure to practice it and add a special touch to your big day.
