Roxann -

The music is still under copyright, so strictly speaking you'll need permission from the publisher (probably at a fee). If the publisher doesn't have the individual parts available, get permission to copy existing parts. Show the permission document to the librarian of the group that has the parts and offer to pay the costs of copying and postage (or scanning and e-mailing).

As a practical matter, you can skip the above. No one will come after you for copying two horn parts for a set you already own.

When I was in high school, the band owned the Hippodrome and Trouper's Favorite books, which we played from. If your city has (or used to have) a big high school band, they may well have the Inspiration books in their library. A retired band director may know.

Does anyone know of a site that stocks old band music that schools have pitched? Google "Music Exchange" and get in touch with the sites that stock used sheet music. They'll be a knowledgeable source.

Also Google for band music lending library -chatfield. (Chatfield is brass band only).

Have you checked with the source from which you inherited the set you have? They may have another set or know where to find one.

The Library of Congress may have a set. Also check the NYC Public Library Music Division.
