Good News from East Anglia:-
"The launch of the Graduale Parvum by the Association for Latin Liturgy (ALL) will take place on Saturday April 21 at St Mary’s College, Oscott at an open meeting with Archbishop Bernard Longley, from the Archdiocese of Birmingham and Bishop Alan in attendance. Bishop Alan is advisor to the ALL
There will be a short explanation of the GP by Fr Guy Nicholls, after which he will present copies of the book and the CDs to the Archbishop and the Bishop.
It will be followed, at 12 noon, by a Solemn Mass of Our Lady in Paschaltide, celebrated by the Archbishop. The Proper chants will be sung from the Graduale Parvum.
Lunch and talks by Fr Paul Gunter and Mgr Andrew Wadsworth will follow along with a panel to answer questions and lead a discussion.
ALL Chair, Christopher Francis, said: “Graduale Parvum points the way to bringing the essentially Catholic language of Latin back into the Mass, whether as part of a mixture, with some chants in Latin and others in English, or in a fully Latin celebration.
“We hope that the Graduale Parvum and the recordings that have been newly made to accompany it will be a help and an inspiration to all choirs who want to bring to their parish liturgy the riches of this extraordinarily significant and uniquely beautiful form of sacred music. We warmly commend this enterprise to our members, to all choirs and choir directors, and indeed to the whole Church.”
As a follow-up in the Diocese of East Anglia, the ALL will be going to St John’s Cathedralin Norwich for a day of workshop sessions including using the Graduale Parvum, and singing Mass on Saturday September 29, organised by the ALL diocesan representative, Paul Henriksen."
