Last week, 800 pages of organ accompaniments for the Campion Missal & Hymnal began shipping. Before long, the SATB scores will also become available. Using these large, easy-to-read organist scores, parish musicians can provide accompaniment for all the music found in the Campion book (Ordinarium Missae, Hymns in English & Latin, Simple Gregorian Chants). Here is the URL address to purchase these accompaniments:

Jules Vyverman, Marinus de Jong, Gustaaf Nees, Henri Durieux, and Edgard de Laet.  Achille P. Bragers, born in Belgium but famous in America, also studied at the Lemmens Institute, as you can see in Bragers' biography (PDF article).  Carlo Rossini, famous for his "Psalm Tones," was a priest musician who worked in Philadelphia (and, later, Rome).
