This transcription was part the final project for my undergrad.'s Orchestration and Arranging course at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.  We, the students, were given the option of transcribing or arranging any piece we wanted, so I chose an organ work, not just for my love of the instrument, but because organ music lends itself extremely well to orchestral (and wind-band) transcription.  Unfortunately, the UW-Platteville Symphony Orchestra was unable to read any of the transcriptions, so this has remained un-played.  If you are someone who is directing, playing-in, and/or knowledgeable of an orchestra that would like to read and possibly perform this transcription, please send me an email!
