Dear all,

is there anyone out there who has access to a French edition of the vocal scores of Gounod's oratorios 'Rédemption' and 'Mors et Vita'?
I am in the possession of the Novello editions but would love to read Gounod's prefaces in the original French.

Cheers,
Florian

Altough not labelled explicitely on the front page of the score, Elgar's first Symphony is in A flat major and d minor. There are hints that Elgar indeed wanted to write a Symphony in two keys ad once. Moreover, there is a part-song ('There is sweet music') which is in G and A flat major at the same time. Interestingly, the part-song dates from about the same time as the Symphony.

For the work on my PhD thesis I am desperately looking for a vocal score of Alexander Mackenzie's cantata 'The Bride' (Novello, Ewer & Co., about 46 pages).
I couldn't find a copy neither at amazon marketplaces nor in second-hand bookshops, and even the British Library wasn't able to provide me with a copy. 
Has anyone a vocal score and is able to send me a copy or a scan?

Thanks a lot!
