Looking for Saxophone and Viola Duets.?

I'm not looking for those generic duets for miscellaneous instruments, but real "written for sax and viola" duets. Also, where to buy them? Thank you!

Looking for Saxophone and Viola Duets.?
Good luck. Since the saxophone is only a little over 150 years old, most of the music is not written for anoter instrument other than a saxophone. There are others out there, but they are few and far between. Also, because it is still fighting to be considered a classical style musical instrument, there is very little written to duet with the classical string instruments like a viola. Your best bet is to find flute, clarinet, or oboe with viola and then transpose to the key of the saxophone you are playing.
