    I am looking for 4 copies of "The Gregorian Kyriale with Organ Accompaniment by Rev. Carlo Rossini". If anyone can shed some light on where copies may be found/purchased, please let me know via email: charles.nolen@hr.cdom.org.

    I have one copy which I bought a few years ago on eBay. I used it some, and might again on occasion. Now I tend to prefer "Nova Organi Harmonia". The Rossini are simple, clean, and straightforward, though. Maybe this is a book that CMAA ought to consider making available in PDF? If so, Jeffrey, send me an email.

    I'm definitely with Steve and Palestrina on this one. It'd be great to see either a reproduction (ala Dover Publications) or remake (ala Baerenreiter) of the Nova Organi Harmonia.

    Palestrina & Jeffrey,

    It is possible I can hook you up with a copy, from the self-same source I got mine.

    Please E-mail introibo.ad.altare@gmail.com

    Make sure to put "NOH" in the subject line.

    Francis: care to write one? It'd be a worthy task!

    Actually, I would find accompaniment for the psalm tones to be very beneficial. I have moderate success with making it up as I go along, but it'd be nice to have something that doesn't rely on me having had caffeine earlier that morning!

    Aha!

    Here are four in MN, but I am not sure what these represent. Can anyone enlighten me? Are any of these Rossini? I don't see a composer.

    Gavin:

    I may be interested. Please explain in detail exactly what you would want.

    This was THE PROPERS used in my childhood days as a chorister in the 50's and early 60's. Dr Eddmond Tozer's Propers also were in use as well/ I have 5 copies given to me by some nuns 6 years ago. Perhaps contacting the diocese of Pittsburg, where Fr. Rossini was the Director of Music from the 30's to 50's/ They might be able to help/ In fact the NPM chapter has an interesting book out about his contributions to liturgical music at that time

    I just came across this old discussion. I hope all are now aware that "Nova Organi Harmonia" is available as a free PDF download. http://www.ccwatershed.org/blog/2013/aug/17/nova-organi-harmonia/

    NOH: There were no copyright markings anywhere in the work. But I contacted the Lemmens Institute by phone (having not gotten a response via email of post) and they advised me that they 1) did not have it copyrighted, 2) had no plans of republishing it, and 3) I/we could do with it whatever we wanted!

    I've also been working on adding bookmarks to it, to make the massive files easier to navigate.
