Ellen, For what it's worth, the manuscript of the concerto (with band, as it was written) is at the Vandercook College of Music in Chicago: http://www.vandercook.edu/archives/collections/h_m.htm
If all else fails, you could try contacting them. Biographical info is at: http://www.windband.org/foothill/pgm_note/notes_h.htm#Hermann The "James Chambers plays the French horn" LP that came out in 1960 went a long way in popularizing this piece. By the time I got my first copy, later in the 60's, it was already hard to find the music. I don't think that it ever had wide distribution, though I saw some copies once or twice over the years. Unfortunately, I didn't snatch them up at the time. And, yes, Wilbert, it does end with a Technicolor bang (though I recall that there were simpler alternate options written in the part).
