There is very good arrangement of the Barber of Seville Overture  
(Sinfonia, actually) by Truman Harris. It's published by the "Capitol  
Woodwind Quintet Series". Don't know how you would find it these days;  
I've had my copy for many years. But it's well done and worth the  
effort.

Someone mentioned the Holcombe arrangements. They are usually pretty  
good; so if they've done one, I would look into it. I would especially  
recommend their arrangement of Carmen. It's called "Carmen Fantasy", I  
think. It's a medley of all the favorite tunes from the opera. It is  
really spectacular. Our quintet has performed that piece dozens of  
times and it never fails to be a hit.

Whatever you come up with, you might report back to the list. Always  
on the lookout for the next good chart!!
