One explanation might be that you have not created a log-in on the WIKI pages. The forums and the rest of the site use different log-in databases, so that you need two register twice.

There was one (IMSLP) more recently, which has been taken down. Another, which still is extant, (but which may or may not have Werther) is the Werner Icking Music Archive, ( <http://icking-music-archive.org/>) now hosted by the Danish national Library.

Well, I really did not stint on the measure; it's an old U.S. joke, dating from a time when a particularly common measure by which most many spirits were sold was a fifth, short for a fifth of a gallon. There were a number of jokes on the same or related themes, but they have lost a bit of currency ...

"Breviary" is the name given to a book which contains all of the texts of the office--Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline--for each day and feast. I've never seen one which included music, or the texts of the Mass. Breviaries were prepared for use by particular groups, m...

Re: Celtic Blessing

Sorry. I can't forego the joke, overused though it is, about having some Gaelic spirit in me--several fifths, by measure, though not all at the same time. I've done some hiking in hilly and mountainous areas, and I have some experience in human anatomy, as a result of the confluence of the two, I ca...

Re: Hymn to Saint Martin

I would be grateful if someone can point me in the direction of the text of a Hymn to Saint Martin which begins O virum ineffabile Nec labore victum Qui nec mori timuit nec vivere recusa The Latin looks a bit odd, especially the 'O' followed by an accusative case. I would have expected 'O vir ineff...

There are certainly similarities, to the cause that UE brought against IMSLP, but there are also differences. Of perhaps the largest consequence is that in UE was concerned about instrumental works, where sales are in the tens or low hundreds, while Crucifixion is a choral work, and sales are in tho...

Re: viewing files in Finale Notepad

A number of music files are listed as "Smartviewer Music" files. This program no longer exists. I've discovered that Finale Notepad has replaced this program, but I still can't view any files that are supposed to open in that format. (I also have Finale 2007, but that doesn't seem to matt...

While we're about it, all the scores of Stainer's Crucifixion which do not use exclusively biblical texts are likely to infringe copyright because -- perhaps surprisingly -- his librettist W J Sparrow-Simpson only died in 1952. His estate will still get royalties from the sale of published scores. ...

These items which date from the same period as the English language oratorio, "Elijah", were composed by Mendelssohn as settings of the Anglican Evensong (Magnificat & Nunc dimittis) and Mattins (Jubilate Deo) texts, perhaps at the request of an English publisher. However, I seem to re...

As is happens, there is a way to use Finale Notepad to open files set to open with the SmartMusic browser plug in (later, I believe, renamed by Finale, the "Finale Music Viewer"). However, the files which are set for use with the SmartMusic viewer are external to the site, and are copyrigh...

There are at least four libraries in the U.S. which report owning copies in OCLC, and there are several other organizations which may own copies, but which do not routinely report choral music holdings to OCLC. The work has two OCLC numbers, which you can give to a Librarian to try to borrow a copy ...

I know the tune was first published with "For all the Saints"; I once heard or read that Stanford composed the tune because Vaughan Williams, who was then editor of The English Hymnal would not permit its use in HAM. "For all the Saints" was written by Bishop William Walsham How ...
