And in response to my first request, Alan Stanek suggested several books,
one of which was:
*Schirmer Pronouncing Pocket Manual of Musical Terms* edited by Thedodore
Baker and revised by Nicolas Slonimsky - Schirmer Books in
paperback and very inexpensive. Contains many musical terms in
English, French, German and Italian with a pronunciation guide.
Sounds like "Schirmer" and "Theodore Baker" are a good bet.

IF>Mike, Tom and all others,
IF> The publication you are seeking is called: "Dictionary of Musical
IF>Terms" by Theodore Baker. It is published, as far as I can tell, by G.
IF>Schirmer in New York (now a part of the MacMillan publishing empire).It
IF>contains over 9,000 English, French, German, Italian, Latin and Greek
IF>words. Each word is translated into all the languages.
