I think there is an SA arrangement of just The Rejoicing (can't spell the real
name).

Not an untypical approach by brass band guys to the classics as I am increasingly
finding as I do more orchestra stuff. Discussed this once with Bob Redhead who tells
me that certain keys don't sound good on brass. Don't seem to remember that there
are many keys I haven't played in. Maybe some of the orchestral keys, particularly
multiple sharp ones, are deemed as too hard when transcibed directly for brass?

Any suggestions David? or others?
