I can't help you on where to find the Eric Crees arrangements, but I can
tell listers at large (but especially in the UK) that the London Symphony
Orchestra Brass Ensemble are giving a concert of Crees's arrangements on
November 6th at The Barbican, London.  Programme includes El Salon Mexico
and Billy The Kid (Copland);  Mutations from Bach (Barber);  Variations on
America (Ives) and Fancy Free (Bernstein) - conducted by Crees himself.  I
guess that you are on the other side of the world, so sorry to rub salt into
the wound!
