This little anecdote reminded me of our recent Joyce Hatto scandal. This is the same Desenclos who gave us the wonderful Incantation, threne, et danse (which more trumpet players should check out).

"Desenclos' Messe de requiem was written in 1963 and published by Durand et Fils in 1967. In 1999 the piece was reprinted under the name of Atlanta-based composer Tristan Foison. Foison's mass was given its "American premiere" on 18 May 1999 in a performance by the Capitol Hill Chorale - but soon after the piece was discovered to be a note-for-note duplicate of Desenclos's requiem from 1963."

What a musical world.
