Looking for Christmas Ordinary

Steve Collins

I'm looking for a copy of "Mass in Honor of the Infant Jesus" by Marsh. It was translated by Carol Thomas Andrews into English back in the 1960s, but I'm looking for the original in Latin. Thanks.

Do you suppose this is it:

Probably, but how do I look at it or get a copy?

Mark P.

See if you can do an inter-library loan from some institution that has it. Libraries are connected to a system now (I think it's called WorldCat) and public libraries typically let you borrow things from other libraries.

I just noticed that the Latin mass you're looking for is by Marsh. Here it is in the Library of Congress:

I wonder if this is it?

Here are the records for the setting in Latin in WorldCat.

When you click on one of them you can enter you location (zip code) to see if there are any libraries near you that have the music. (You should probably check all three records as they list different libraries and it seems that more than one version of the piece as published.) Or you can also try interlibrary loan as Mark P. has suggested.

Finally, i saw (used) copies for sale at Amazon, AbeBooks, Alibris, Bookfinder.com, etc. under the tile "Choral Mass in honor of the Infant Jesus." (I like Bookfinder.com as it searches all the others.)
