I have made several arrangements for saxophones of early madrigals and other music.
Quartet:
Byrd: Agnus Dei from the 4-Part Mass (SATB or AATB)
Gabrielli: La Spiritata (SATB)
Tallis: If Ye Love Me (SATT or AATB)
Tomkins: Pavan a 4 (SATB)
Quintet:
Gibbons: The Silver Swan (SATTB)
Holborne: Galliard - The Sighes (SAATB)
Monteverdi: Ecco Mormorar L'Onde (SSATB or AAATB)
Monteverdi: Si Ch'io Vorei Morire (SSATB or AAATB)
Tomkins Pavan a 5 (SAATB)
(Edit: The Marie Gold is @tenorviol 's arrangement - not mine. I had included it in this list by mistake with the other Holborne Galliard. Now removed. I hope I haven't claimed that any other arrangements of his are mine. Grovelling apologies if so.)
Larger Groups:
Tomkins: Woe Is Me (SSATBB)
Beethoven: Octet, First Movement (SSAATTBB)
Gabrielli: Canzon a 12 (3 groups of SATB)
While Pete is re-thinking the resources section of the Café site, I thought I would post a pointer here

If anyone ever fancies trying the Beethoven Octet, I would love to join in, and I could do an arrangement of the other movements.
I have played it on bassoon and its great, but not easy.
It would need a good first soprano player.
