If you would like to do this for wind ensemble - my transcription is published by TRN Music. It was done with the approval of Ella Grainger and the International Grainger Society.

Beautiful....sounds like my favorite orchestra OK-Dreamband. CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is available for download (iTunes, amazon).

This is great. What year is this from?

I am guessing Piedmont would mean Virginia and Appalachia?
