It's an orchestral score and quite large. Salabert used to be a lot 
better about responding to enquiries, but you could try there. No 
interlibrary loan at your school? Worldcat shows it available at 57 
libraries worldwide.

BTW: pretty much the definitive essay on Horos and CA is by Makis 
Solomos:
