Hi Marie

Try Black Dyke for the Aratunian - Jim Watson recorded it with them a couple
of years ago.  There was certainly an arrangement of the Rondo from the
Hummel knocking around some time ago but I'm not sure that it ever made it
into print.  Neruda: probably not.  I can see that this is looking less than
helpful!  But if you're searching for 'serious' pieces for cornet/trumpet
and band here's a few different suggestions:

Denis Wright: Concerto
Ernest Tomlinson: Concerto
Philip Sparke: Concerto
Thomas Wilson: Cartoon
Edward Gregson: Prelude and Capriccio

There are also big pieces by Wilfred Heaton and Arthur Butterworth but I'm
not sure of their current availability.  My recollection is that they're
both blindingly difficult.

I'm sure that there are others.

Dare I also suggest my own 'Transit of Venus' for cornet and band.  No,
maybe not, in such august company!

In any case I'm not convinced that the Neruda or Hummel would transcribe
especially well for band...

Best wishes

David
