Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Band
Concerto for Percussion
Concerto for Wind Instruments
Divertimento for Brass and Percussion (also a quintet without the perc.)
Elegy for Wind Ensemble
Al Fresco
Smetana Fanfare
Apotheosis of the Earth

These are the ones I know about. I have a wonderful recording of U.
Michigan doing Prague in 1982 with Husa conducting - and a copy of his
speech prior to the performance. Both the speech and the performance are
emotionally fantastic.
