Hi David

You were very close on the name......

Edrich Siebert (real name Stanley Smith Masters, 1903-84), was basically self
taught and gained his experience until 1946 with military bands. He went on to
became a prolific composer and arranger and wrote I believe over 1000 pieces..
Many of his publications were suited for young players and primarily for brass
band, although he did write for military band and orchestra. He wrote many
novelty pieces such as "Polished Brass" and "Bees-a-Buzzin" first as a (great
little) quartet and later for full brass band.  The Munn and Felton Quartet
recorded "Bees-a-Buzzin" (circa 1957) on a Paxton 78RPM record and may have won
the quartet contest with it. (Someone on the list may be more accurate)  He also
wrote " Follow The Band" and Brass Band Sketches among many others.
I hope this helps....
