If you are speaking of Ruy Blas Overture, Mendelssohn, a recording is
available in the CD set "Gems of the Concert Band", disk 5, "Legendary
Overtures" recorded by the Detroit Concert Band.

I have played a band arrangement several times of the past few years and
have enjoyed it. I also have the newish Baerenreiter edition of the
