    Once again I need your help. I am looking for masses by Rev. H. Gruender, especially his Missa Liturgica and his Missa cum Jubilo. Any idea where I could find them?
    Thanks again,
    D.

    The 2-part Mass arrangements that were published by Singenberger have been digitized and are available from http://jeffreyquick.com/catholicromantic/index.php?title=Gründer,_Hubert,_1870-1940. That doesn't include the 2 you are specifically looking for though.... which are also not on WorldCat, and AbeBooks doesn't have them. Hopefully somebody here has them. They were published by McLaughlin & Reilly, and I've got to run to work right now and can't find who is managing their copyrights right now.

    EDIT: Sorry about the broken link; it works now.

    If I remember right, Summy-Birchard has the rights to McLaughlin & Reilly publications.

    They're both represented in the Bruce Larsen Collection at St. Johns University (Larsen was Richard Proulx' teacher.). The terms of access are pretty draconian; it depends what you want them for, and of course it will cost you.

    I'm 25 minutes away in St. Cloud. Just found a new resource. Hopefully I can be there in person.

    Just discovered Bruce Larsen through the youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@schmitzd04

    Amazing music making.

    Has anyone made a coordinated effort to get his arrangements published?
    I am listening to recording after recording on the youtube channel:
    - real music
    - variety of styles
    - English adaptions
    exactly the kind of thing I spend hours looking for but can rarely find.

    Fully-professional orchestral playing, great choral sound, oddball rep (that Pilot Agnus is a gem)
