    Has anyone heard of Fr. William Jurgens? He composed a Mass in Honor of Our Lady of the Lake. Toledo, Ohio: Gregorian Institute of America. 1967. (lyrics and music by Fr. William Jurgens). He was a preist in the Cleveland Diocese and the Mass was composed for patroness of St. Mary Seminary in Cleveland. The diocesen archives and the information on Fr. Jurgens does not reveal anything about a Mass.

    In my copy of the American Masses and Requiems by David DeVenney, there was a Mass composed to Our Lady of the Lake by Ann Cellen in 1965. I also have a copy of Our Lady of the Lake hymn book compiled by by Sister Mary Elaine Gentemann, and there are several mass settings in the collection but none to "Our Lady of the Lake."

    Any help would be appreciated.

    In this 1990 catalog of American Masses and Requiems, it's listed arranged for TTB & organ with optional congregational; 15 minutes long.
