The research of classical guitarist
Gregory Coleman and his group’s
performances came to the attention
of the San Juan Capistrano
Historical Society, who funded
a grant to record a music CD.
Tony Forster, the Society’s president,
whose ancestors owned and lived
in the Mission San Juan Capistrano
in the 1850s, was able to obtain
the Serra Chapel at the Mission for
the recording site.

The Serra Chapel is the oldest
building in California, dating from 1776.

Historical precedence
demanded our presence.
When Alfred Robinson visited
the Mission Santa Barbara
in 1827, he observed:

“From this [vestry], a door led into the
church…The musicians attached to the choir
were practicing, and played some very
fine airs…It was not unusual, both
there and at the churches of other
missions, to hear during the mass the
most lively dancing tunes.”

This CD recording is a superb production,
with beautiful art work and photography.
It is a must-have for any California
history buff, but will be
appreciated by everyone who
loves beautiful and exciting music
