Our library has the following two music entries for Abraham Reisen:

Katz1917cEng. trans. by Alter Brody.Reisen, Abraham,1876-1953.The lark

Please have him contact our reference librarians at  library (at) jtsa(dot)edu  
 and refer to these items by title, author, and special call number (i.e. MUS 
5.47). They should be able to make photocopies for him.

If he wishes to purchase a copy, he might want to try the National Yiddish Book 
Center at (413) 256-1241. They sell Yiddish sheet music for very reasonable 
prices.
