Robert Spring recorded this with wind band on his Dragon's Tongue CD. In
the booklet that comes with the CD is the following:
"Au Clair de la lune Variations was made available throught the
generosity of "The Presidents Own", United States Marine Band, Colonel John
R. Bourgeois, Director. Special thanks to MGySgt Mike Ressler, Chief
Librarian."

Good luck.
