Although not strict brass-band instrumentation, there is a recording of Star
of Indiana with the Canadian Brass performing the Barber Adagio.  Although for
Alec's sake, it is not the same impact as the original strings (BTW, the
ORIGINAL original was for string quartet, not string orchestra), they do it
justice in their own right.

FWIW, my brass quintet has read down an arrangement of the Adagio, although I
cannot remember by whom it was arranged.  Although there are FEW notes, the
obvious challenge is maintaining the musical LINE.

Kindest regards,
