Try saving the following in a file, and then including the file at the
top of your pieces:

%%% Begin Lilypond Code
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
    \column {
        \fill-line { \override #'(font-size . 1) \italic \fromproperty
#'header:dedication }
        \fill-line { \override #'(font-size . 4) \bold \fromproperty
#'header:title }
        \fill-line { \override #'(font-size . 6) \bold \fromproperty
#'header:subtitle }
        \fill-line {
            \column {
                \left-align {\fromproperty #'header:poet }
                \left-align {\fromproperty #'header:poetdates }
                \left-align {\fromproperty #'header:duration }
                \left-align {\fromproperty #'header:instrument }
            }
            \column {
                \right-align {\fromproperty #'header:composer }
                \right-align {\fromproperty #'header:composerdates }
                \right-align {\fromproperty #'header:arranger }
                \right-align {\fromproperty #'header:arrangerdates }
            }
        }
    }
}

scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
    \fill-line { \override #'(font-size 3) \fromproperty #'header:piece }
}

copyright = \markup {
    \fill-line {
        \column {
            \bold \fromproperty #'header:copyrightdate}
            \bold "International rights secured"
            \bold "All rights reserved"
        }
       \column {
          " "
          "B.B. 2010"
       }
        \column {
            \bold \fromproperty #'header:copyrightholder
            \bold \fromproperty #'header:copyrightcity
            \bold "Printed in U.S.A."
        }
    }
}
%%% End Lilypond Code

Now, in your \header block, just define the following fields:
\header {
    dedication = "To Elaine Shaffer"
    title = "Suite Modale"
    subtitle = "For Flute and Piano"
    duration = "Duration: 12 minutes" %or whatever the real duration is
    instrument = "FLUTE"
    composer = "ERNST BLOCH"
    composerdates = "(1956)"
    copyrightdate = "1956" %or whatever the real copyright date is
    copyrightholder = "Broude Brothers"
    copyrightcity = "New York"
    copyright = \copyright
}

Similarly, within each \score block, include a \header that sets the
"piece" property (in your example above, piece = "I").  Note that you
can define your own header fields (the Mutopia project does this
extensively).

You'll probably want to tweak the above, but that should be
self-explanatory.  The file ly/titling-init.ly might give you more examples.
