Great info John, but I wanted to quickly point out that the address you have
for Shawnee Press is incorrect. They are now located in Nashville, TN, and
are part of the Music Sales Group. Their address and other contact
information is available at their web site www.shawneepress.com

Years ago I had a great book called Bass Clef Sessions,
full of trios, duets, quartets, rounds, fugues etc, etc.
Loaned to someone- and never returned!
Any thoughts on a source of this book?.
Editor and arranger is W Livingston Gearhart, publisher Shawnee Press.
The only supplier I found in a Google search was MusicRoom
(www.musicroom.com), but June Emerson (www.juneemerson.co.uk) has it also.
Both quote prices in UK pounds but deliver worldwide. I particularly like
the trios, LG's arrangement of "Little Brown Jug" and the Palestrina
Madrigal, which I used to play with my son and daughter on horn, trombone
and bassoon.
June Emerson's Brass catalogue has over 250 trombone quartets in it.
As an aside, in case anyone is actually interested, the Shawnee Press
reference reminded me of this. Virginia Morley and Livingston Gearhart
were at one point in their careers the duo pianists with Fred Warning and
the Pennsylvanians. They were also married to each other, at least until
Fred stole Virginia away and married her. Gearhart was subsequently one of
Waring's stable of very good arrangers, as duo piano duties were taken
over by Webb and Hornibrook, who both ended up teaching at Indiana
University. The list of very fine musicians who were associated with Fred
and his organization at one time and went on to very distinguished
personal careers is quite long, and includes Robert Shaw.
