Isn't this the work Kom Susser Tod? I believe that is the German
translation. At any rate, it is available in printed form by Barnhouse,
arrangement Alfred Reed. Alo done by Leidzen, Hindsley, de Lamater, and G.
Tolmage. The recording I have is the University of Michigan Band with H.
Robert Reynolds conducting. Please contact me privately if you are
interested in hearing this recording.
