saint-saens, Ascanio ballet

[steltz]

We have the vocal score to this, but not a full score. Would anyone have one they could upload?

Very hard to find--if at all--since these full scores by Saint-Saëns are quite rare and never performed (except Samson).

We do not seem to have the full score to this, but we've digitized the piano score here http://hdl.handle.net/1802/7351 and the vocal score here http://hdl.handle.net/1802/6976. I see we also have a piano 4-hand arrangement, plus one for flute and piano by Taffanel.

jim-thanks, but IMSLP already has the vocal/piano score (which probably came from Sibley!). What I'm looking for is the full score, and specifically the ballet sequence with the flute variations. My library has the piano reduction of that, but the Airs de Ballet could be done as a concerto if we had the orchestal parts. I can easily do a set of orchestral parts if I have a score.

Kalmus sells the full opera set, but it seems too expensive if all we will be using is the one sequence with flute.

I believe I can get my hands on the Kalmus reprint of the ballet music. Let me see what I can do.

That would be fantastic, thank you in advance!!!!!
