Frank Saddler (9 September 1864 – 25 March 1921, Brewster, New York) was an American orchestrator, music arranger, composer, and conductor. Born and raised in Western Pennsylvania and educated in Munich, Germany, he is best known for his work on Broadway as an orchestrator and arranger. Between 1909 and 1921 he orchestrated the scores to more than sixty Broadway musicals; an "unprecedented accomplishment that has never been repeated". George Gershwin described Frank Saddler as "the father of modern arranging", and his contribution to the American music theatre canon was a forerunner to the development of the "modern American sound" in later composers like Aaron Copland, Virgil Thompson, Roy Harris, and Marc Blitzstein.
