George Marshalls transcription of the first movement of Schubert's 8th Symphony
William Himes transcription Elsa Procession
Micheal Kenyons transcriptions of Chabriers Marche Joyeuse and themes from Schubert's 5th Symphony
Themes from the Italian Symphony - Mendelssohn, arr. Dean Goffin and I agree with Mr. Birch re Brian Bowen's transcription of the Schubert 5th.
Dvorak's New World was recorded not too long ago by Enfield Citadel but not RS-A's Melodies of Dvorak which I really like.
When can I place my order

I am sure that it was Michael Kenyon who arranged the Schubert, my only quibble with RSA's New World is that he recomposed the ending, Dvorak finished on a quiet note of some ambiguity, rather than a loud note of triumph. I think I prefer Dvoraks ending
Just thought of a couple more: Fugue in G, Bach, arr. Erik Leidzen - only recording I'm aware of is by the New York Staff Band back in the 60's. It's short but really works well with brass. Also, someone (sorry, I can't remember who) arranged the Litolf Scherzo from Concerto Symphonique for a Canadian Staff Band concert in Toronto. It's never been recorded and, to my knowledge has never been used since (Black Dyke recorded a different transcription on Ivory and Brass with pianist Keith Swallow).
Can't say I'm aware of a Michael Kenyon arrangement of the Schubert 5th; maybe Brian can clarify but it's Brian's transcription I have in mind.
with reference to another topic re: why don't more non SA bands play SA music.
a post was made stating that ALL SA music had to have a religous reference.
Do all the classical pieces meet this?

sorry about that, it has been far too long since we played it, and I think it is a great piece, both in its original version and yours.
I remember hearing a Trevor Davis arrangment that the ISB played in New Zealand around 1997 when they were there. i think it was the overture to sleeping beauty or similar. Does anyone know of it
The music was Excerpts from Act 1 of Swan Lake and the visit to New Zealand was in 1995.
Thanks so much for that. My bad on both the name of the piece and the year of the tour. The years are flying arent they!!
Treasures from Tchaikovsky, arr. Bramwell Coles
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - Liszt, arr. Robert Redhead
Rondo Alla Turca - Mozart, arr. Erik Leidzen
Concerto for Trombone - Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Robert Redhead
anyone remember playing 'Melodies from Great Composers" in the old unity series books? I think it was my first introduction to classical music.
