Gudday, just a few off the top of my head. I'll try to dig up a few more
and email you privately.

Starters:
Colas Breugnon Overture - Kabalevsky arr. Stephen Roberts
Candide Overture - Bernstein/Snell
Fanfare from "La Peri" Dukas/Roberts
Deus in Adjutorium from "Vespers" - Monteverdi/Maunder
March Opus 99 - Prokofiev/Stephens??

Finishers:
Khatchaturian 3 (condensed) arr. Farr
Entry of the Gods into Valhalla - Wagner/Snell (actually it now looks
like there are enough good transcriptions out there for a "Wagner"
concert.) I digress.
Daphnis & Chloe - Ravel/Snell
Bolero - Ravel/Snell
March from Symphonic Metamorphosis - Hindemith/Wilkinson
9th January from Shostakovich 11 - arr. Stephens

I'm also reliably informed of a good arrangement of the finale to
Shostakovich 5 by William Gordon (see Bernel Music)

plus the usual....Firebird, Great Gate, etc. etc.

Have a happy day!
Adrian
