RVW

How can I find out if there is a band arrangement of the RVW? When I go to Oxford University Press, it leads me nowhere and I don't know of any other resources. Can anyone be of assistance. Oh, if this has been asked and answered before, I truly apologize. Thank you.

When I was at Kent State University, we played a wind ensemble arrangment of the accompaniment with David Borsvold, the tuba instructor at the time there. We got the parts on rental, but I'm not sure from where. I can say for sure though that it's out there somewhere.

I thank you both for your responses, so quickly! I will be getting touch with Denis Wick's organization, ASAP.

The Denis Wick version has quite a few errors, mostly misplaced accidentals and rhythm misprints.

Depending on the ability of the band they might not be noticeable

I have tried to contact the Denis Wick company, but they do not respond. Upon looking at the 'for hire' versions at OUP, I find that there is no way to determine the price of rental, nor any way to order it. Again, may I have some help with either or both of these sources?

Thank you.

Many (many!!) years ago I performed this with orchestra during my undergrad days. At the time I was surprised to learn that the normal "rental for a fee" became a "rental for free" (charges waived) as I was a student and this was being performed with a youth orchestra.

I do not know if this remains as their policy, but it would be worth inquiring after.
