Chris,

To my knowledge, the Vaughan Williams band setting is the only one that you can purchase. Denis Wick did the arrangment, and it is the standard that everyone uses. However, the first link that was provided to you did provide the orchestral version, which is available FOR RENTAL only.

We recently performed the Denis Wick arrangement, and while easy to obtain and not too bad for a band arrangement, it had more than a handful of errors. Mostly wrong notes in the printed band parts, and a couple of rhythm misprints.

I give it a B+.

I would be curious to know what arrangement Floyd Cooley used on this recording of the Concerto with the DePaul Wind Ensemble.

All else fails... just ask...
