Pietro Andrea "Messa facile in onore di S. Benedetto Abate" Op.70

Steve Collins

Help, please!

We found this on IMSLP: http://ks.petruccimusiclibrary.org/files/imglnks/usimg/8/8c/IMSLP448074-PMLP728563-Dentella_-_Messa_s_Benedetto.pdf

The first page is fine, but the rest are gray-scale photographs. Does anyone have this Mass in their library? We want to sing at for EF Missal Cantata on Laetare Sunday.

Oops! Composer's last name is Dentella. http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/pietro-andrea-dentella_(Dizionario-Biografico)/

The Mass was published by Carrara, 1939.

I found a copy on Ebay, in Italy. It's on its way to me now.

When you get it, could you do a clean scan and put it up on IMSLP, or make it available for one of us to do so?

Since the work was published in Italy, it's probably not in the public domain until 70 years from the composer's death in 1964.

It's already on IMSLP, but not a good scan. I've only found a few used copies. It's evidently out of print, and I would suspect permanently. I'll make some inquiries as to permissions. I'll also check the current ownership of the copyright, since it might be covered by OneLicense.

The main IMSLP server operates under Canadian law, less burdensome than ours.
