    Hello,

    I am wondering if anyone has purchased CMAA's reprint of the 1961 Graduale, especially the hardcover version, and would share your opinion of the books physical attributes. I would be interested to know how thick the volumes are, and if anyone has found them actually practical for singing the propers Sunday to Sunday. I am also very confused that the first volume is supposedly 690 pages, and the second 532, but the first volume is supposed to be just the proper of the season. And in the pdf, the proper of the season takes up significantly less than that, so I really want to know how the first volume spends 690 pages on the proper of the season. These reprints certainly interest me, but I'm not sure how practical they would really be, and I'd really appreciate some info from anyone who has them.

    Thank you!

    I don't have the reprint and am not sure if I've seen one personally, but my guess is that vol. I must include the Common of the Saints as well, perhaps also the Requiem Mass, Common Tones, and Appendix.

    That would make sense mathematically. Although if the common of the saints is in a different volume than the proper of the saints, that would make it even more difficult to use. Thanks for your answer!
