Orchestral blend

I participate in a saxophone quartet and we recently signed up for a joint concert with a woodwind quintet. One of the saxophone players is the oboe player in the quintet. We thought it would be nice to do one piece as a combined ensemble, so I reworked a saxophone choir arrangement of Pavane by Gabriel Fauré for use with woodwind quintet and saxophone trio.
It occurred to me that this might be a useful vehicle for helping saxophonists learn to blend in an orchestral setting. So, I've posted the transcription if you are interested:

As always, if you choose to use this, I would appreciate hearing about it and receiving a recording if that is possible. I can be reached at email.
Best regards,
