This is an experiment that has yielded a good first gathering: Catholics aged 11 to 60-ish, coming from 7 different parishes got together to practice singing through the Roman Gradual, following the "degrees of participation" of Musicam Sacram: about 1 hour of Dialogue-Responses and Kyriales, then 30 minutes of the Proper for coming Sundays. Then do it again. And again... We expect more people, from more parishes, next week, and we also start rotating locations between the Long Beach area and the Yorba Linda area in OC... Then we'll see in a few weeks what we have accomplished, and adjust...
