One of my priests is looking for melody-only notation for "Cantar al Señor" (NOT the contemporary one!) and "Padre Eterno, Dios Piadoso." Assuming they are in the public domain, we would like to make copies for our congregation, but I've been unable to locate either of them. Can anyone help?
I found "Padre Eterno, Dios piadoso" in Canta la Misa (Ignatius). It has no copyright information other than that both words and music are by Don Eusebio Goicoechea Arrondo. However, "Vayamos Jubilosos" is also by him, but is listed as copyright 1973. I don't know when (or if) Don Eusebio died, so I don't know if OCP just obtained copyright of the one piece and the other is public domain. If someone can determine it's public domain, I can scan the version in Canta la Misa for you. At least you know where to find it now.
