Can you help us?
We are trying to obtain the score and parts of an arrangement of the Bacchanale
from Samson & Delilah by Saint-Saëns.  Scored for 2 flutes, oboe, cor anglais,
2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and 2 horns,  the last known publisher was Albert J. Andraud
of Cincinnati, Ohio.  Andraud was taken over by Southern Music in San Antonio,
Texas who know nothing of the piece.  No arranger's name was given so it is possible
it could have been by Andraud himself.   Our source for this information was
'Catalogue of Chamber Music For Woodwind Instruments' by Roy Houser (Da Capo
Press N.Y. 1973).
If anyone has this work or knows where we can borrow or purchase it, we would be
grateful if they could Contact us

Andraud published quite a few double wind quintets which Southern Music is unable
to trace.  If anyone knows anything about these, please Contact us
