Our chat was about the Seder Meal for the Bible study group in St Margaret’s on the previous evening (two of us had helped to organise it). Three schola members attended, with wives, and enjoyed the event. Some of the content for this came from A Passover Seder in the Light of Christ by Jewish convert, Roy Schoeman. http://www.hebrewcatholic.org/SederinChrist/passoversederint.html
I downloaded Missa cum Jubilo from Silos 'Lumieres du Gregorian' and we used it to improve our efforts. We worked most on the Kyrie, then scampered through Gloria, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. We fnished with Ave, Regina Caelorum.
We were a bit concerned about Cambuskenneth on 20th April since next Thursday is Holy Thursday so we won't meet then. We might start to run out of time to prepare after that.
Jack suggested that we could meet whenever was convenient to Alan. I emailed him to ask if he would be able to come through one evening soon for another practice to improve our chances.
In the meantime, there are recordings here:

Strange to think that our chant lessons began with that meeting in Cambuskenneth in November.

Even stranger to remember that Alan had been praying about increasing the use of chant the week before on his French retreat. Then on the first chant-related day back in Scotland a random bloke wanders up and asks him about starting chant lessons in Stirling.
If we can arrange an extra rehearsal, then I'll email everyone and post another blog.
