I can't remember if I've asked this before (and can't be bothered to check!) but, purely out of curiosity (something easily aroused!), I've noticed, amongst Frank Wright's arranging credits, that he 'arranged' Arthur Bliss's Belmont Variations. My researches can't come up with a source that it was arranged from. Did Frank Wright not so much 'arrange' from another musical medium, but score (or perhaps just edit) the work for Bliss?
Also, regarding 'Diadem of Gold' composed by a 'G. Bailey', it was, in fact an arrangement of (I believe) a wind band piece by the French composer Guillaume Balay, and originally entitled 'Ouverture Caracteristique'. If my info is correct, does anyone know how to get a copy or set of parts of the original?
Kind regards
