    I've become aware of this late 19th-early 20th French composer René Quignard, who supposedly has a collection of organ music based on Gregorian chant. I can only find brief references to it. Does anyone know who publishes his music? Is it in public domain (if so, will someone post it on imslp.org!!). Does anyone know where to get his music? Thanks!

    His stuff is around. Baylor, St. John's in MN, and Mayrlhurst in OR seem to have a good representation. The pieces you are thinking of were apparently published by GIA in the Toledo days. Some are in public domain if copyrights weren't renewed.

    I get more hits by searching for

    Jean-René Quignard

    Here is a Netherlands wikipedia page ...
    http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-René_Quignard
    which probably lists the item you are looking for.

    At least with the complete composer name
    and a better idea of the score title you are seeking
    others might be better able to assist.

    Contemporaneous music score covers?
    Google searches limited to French language pages?

    l'Organiste Grégorien, originally published by the Procure Générale in Paris in 1928. As far as I know, there are volumes for Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart, Assumption and other Marian feasts, and All Saints; they include an abundance of short-ish preludes ‒ Entrée, Offertoire, Elévation, Communion, Sortie for mass, and then Entrée, five psalm antiphons, Magnificat antiphon and Sortie for Vespers ‒ on the propers. I've been lucky enough to find (and, occasionally, have the chance to use) all of them, except the mass for Pentecost.

    You'll find my e-mail address in the Quignard page on my site: feel free to get in touch.
