Bach Brass Quintet Arrangements

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an arrangement for brass quintet similar to the one that Empire Brass has on their Bach Festival CD for "Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten (Cantata, BWV 78)" (track 13 on that CD). Of course the piece is Bach.
Ideally I'd like the Empire Brass arrangement, but it doesn't seem to be available.

Not a direct answer to your question but......
There are some great (and free!!!) quintet arrangements here:

including some bach.
There's arrangements for other ensembles including tuba quartet (Toccata & Fugue anyone?)
NOT what you asked for but of some interest I hope.

Go to the Empire Brass website and send Rolf an email. I'll bet he'll sell it to you.

What an idea, haha. I'll do that. I also have a friend in Pilafian's studio, so I could ask him.
