Synthesized answer
Based solely on the provided passages, the work "Missa Papae Marcelli" is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1931 [1]. The passage states this criterion directly for the "Dictionary of Music and Musicians" entry, which contains the work [1].
The significance of this public domain status is that it makes the work freely accessible and usable for scholarly purposes without copyright restrictions. However, the passages do not elaborate on the specific benefits for accessibility or scholarly use, nor do they discuss the "rule of the shorter term" mentioned in the text [1]. Therefore, while the legal status is clearly stated, the passages provide no further explanation of its practical significance.

His tunes were for long very popular, and are still sung in the Protestant churches of Thuringia—amongst others that known as 'Liebster Jesu wir sind hier.'
