Novello's Glee Hive

These volumes - http://imslp.org/wiki/Novello's_Glee-Hive_(Various) - are marked "likely not public domain" in Canada or the EU. Why should that be, when all three volumes were published by 1852?

You Know Gounod?

You Know Gounod? The sheet music for the part-song, "Bells Across the Snow," lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, states that the music was composed by Charles Gounod. Can you point me to an earlier Gounod work that was adapted to create this song? The tune is attached. Thanks. Bells Across the ...

J.L. Hatton: category page mis-spelled?

http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Hatton,_John_Liptrott <- The more common spelling is Liptrot rather than Liptrott.

Thanks.

Re: [FEAT] Collapsible tables in General Information

[None of my business, really, but under what circumstances is it inconvenient to not be able to hide the contents listings? Not a rhetorical question. I love seeing those listings whenever someone has gone to the trouble of compiling them! Olmsted. ]

Re: Discussion pages disappeared

I think it is important to fix this. When you're in the work page and look at the discussion tab, you see "(0)" - not an indication that there has been any Discussion. And when you click on the discussion tab (though, why would you?), there is still no indication that there has been any di...

In Dulci Jubilo

I am about to upload Pearsall's translation and arrangement of "In Dulci Jubilo" (in the form of Westbrook's four-part arrangement of Pearsall's eight-part arrangement). I assumed this would go under composer Anonymous. But I find that there are In Dulci Jubilos scattered around the site, ...

Re: To clarify credit for Moszkowski paraphrases.

KGill - Yes - thank you for adding the cross-references. I wasn't so concerned with how they should be classified - just that they can be found.

To clarify credit for Moszkowski paraphrases.

It appears that IMSLP now possesses the complete, collected Moszkowski piano transcriptions and paraphrases of other composers' works, including intermediate-level pieces that were published only in The Etude Magazine.* http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Moszkowski,_Moritz http://imslp.org/wiki/List_of_...
