A few years ago, I attended a concert of the Peninsula Women's Chorus which featured some of these arrangements for "vocal orchestra." (One of the survivors of the internment camp donated the arrangements to Stanford University.) Most of them were *quite* lovely re-imaginings of the symphonic classics.
