The published instrumentation for "Barbarossa" is: Db Piccolo, Eb Clarinet, 1st Bb Clarinet, 2nd & 3rd Bb Clarinet, Eb Cornet, Solo Bb Cornet, 2nd & 3rd Bb Cornets, 1st Eb Alto, 2nd & 3rd Eb Altos, 1st & 2nd Bb Tenors, 1st & 2nd Trombones, TC Bb Bass or 3rd Trombone, TC Baritone, BC Baritone, Bb and Eb Basses, Drums, and 1st Eb Bass (solo part).
I have made the following changes for modern concert band:
C Flute and Piccolo transposed from Db Piccolo part.
Oboe from lowering C Flute and Piccolo part down an octave.
Bassoon use BC Baritone part.
Bass Clatinet use the TC Bb Bass or 3rd Trombone part.
Alto Clarinet, Alto Sax, and Bari Sax use the Eb Cornet part.
Tenor Sax use the TC Baritone part,
1st, 2nd, & 3rd F Horn parts transposed from Eb Alto parts.
BC 3rd Trombone transposed from TC 3rd Trombone part.
These substitutions work good for "Modern Concert Band".
