how dare they use a saxophone in place of oboe d'amore!  At least use an English horn!

Sorry - the band doesn't currently have an oboe player, much less an English horn. The alto sax had to cover the part.

@akb48osi: You might be interested to learn that the two dark-haired flute players are from Japan. Also, I know who AKB48 are, too!

the sax sounds very good tbh :) I know how hard it is to play smoothly like this and it's very good ^_^

I've been playing the 1st clarinet part in this in my orchestra :)

Umm English Horns and Oboe d'amores are expensive and rare so their parts are usually cued...
