I want to buy a used copy of a specific edition (vocal score) of John
Gay's The Beggar's Opera, with the music arranged by Canadian composer
Healey Willan, originally published 1927-8 by Frederick Harris Co.,
Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Sorry I could not find this but I did find a site that may be able to
help.It's stated they have access to over a quarte-million titles and
to email them and they will try and find what you want.

Here's the National Library of Canada's entry for the score of "The
Beggar's Opera"  by Willan Healey.  Perhaps this will help you obtain
this piece of music..

Here, also, is the full summary of Willan Healey's works, also from
the National Library of Canada:

Perhaps if you contact them at reference@nlc-bnc.ca, they can help you
further.  I would definitely recommend dealing with a library before
purchasing the recording, as you can listen to it before you decide if
it is worth purchasing.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if the piece is still carried in the Harris catalog, but
if it is, you can locate the retail outlet nearest you via the
