The New England Brass Band was recently given a bag of brass band music
which contains many old marches, tone poems and such.  Mostly published by
R. Smith in the 1930's and 40's, there are some fine pieces among them
which we would like to perform and possibly record.

Two works in particular are of interest to me, however they are
lacking any kind of conductor score (full, short or expanded solo cornet).
A query to R. Smith indicates that they have been out of print for many
years and that the master plates were lost during the War.  If anyone knows
where we might be able to secure a copy of the score, which would save us
the considerable trouble of reconstructing one from the parts, we would be
most grateful:

Denis Wright: Symphonic Poem "The White Rider" (R. Smith 1091)
Hubert Bath: Tone Poem - "Honour and Glory" (R Smith 2058)

FYI, the only recording of "Honour and Glory" I have been able to locate is
one I have on a tape made from a BBC radio broadcast in 1982 by the Morris
Motors Band; I am unaware of any recording of the "White Rider".  Any 
thoughts on existing recordings of each work?

Any light anyone can shed would be appreciated.

All the best, and with thanks,
