Maybe a bit of a pointless exercise (a phrase Carlisle United fans will be familiar with....) but purely out of curiosity, I was wondering what the forum consider their favourite, and/or most effective band transcriptions of orchestral pieces. I don't have a particular favourite that stands out, but there are a number I could mention:
In no particular order of merit:
The Sorceror's Apprentice (Dukas arr. Bourgeois)
The Pines of Rome - complete (Respighi arr. Snell)
Four Dances from Checkmate (Bliss arr. Ball)
Four Dances from the Nutcracker Suite (Tchaikovsky arr. Sparke)
Variations on a Theme of Haydn (Brahms arr. Nash)
