No! There is an arrangement of this by David Beal-we did it in the
university band last year. Can't remember who published it just at the
minute, but I can have a look if you want. 
Also, I went to an organ recital today at which I heard a piece that I
thought would work really well for band- 'Four Extemporisations' by Percy
Whitlock (1903-46) (particularly the fanfare movement). No, I hadn't heard
of him either, but it's a cracking piece, if a bit hard. If I can find the
music, I'll get on and do it myself. There's a lot of modernish organ
stuff by people like Messiaen and Langlais that would work well, IMO.
