There really aren't that many well written "band" pieces, so I would suggest looking at works for orchestral winds written by composers that are generally considered "orchestral" composers.
One good set to look at that are neither are Joseph Schwantner's works for wind ensemble and piano. And the mountains rising nowhere, In Evening's Stillness, and From A Dark Millenium. If you can get a hold of those scores, please do it. Ticheli's 2nd Symphony is VERY good, especially the second movement. I also personally like some of Clifton Williams' writing in Fanfare and Allegro, and Symphonic Dance No. 3. Very well written pieces of "lower difficulty".
And also, not "maybe Lincolnshire Posy", DEFINITELY get it, that is some of the best orchestrating you're going to find in most any band piece of that era.
