March 1 March 1894: Gladstone chairs the last of his 556 Cabinets as Prime Minister. Although Gladstone described it in his diary as ‘a very moving scene’, he always after referred to it as the ‘blubbering Cabinet’. Looking back thirty years later, Herbert Asquith wrote, ‘Before the Cabinet separated Lord Kimberley … who was genuinely moved had uttered a few broken sentences of affection and reverence, when Harcourt produced from his box and proceeded to read a well-thumbed manuscript of highly elaborate eulogy. Of those who were present there are now few survivors but which of them can forget the expression on Mr Gladstone’s face, as he looked on with hooded eyes and tightened lips at this maladroit performance?’ April 22 April 1902: Birth of Lady Megan Lloyd George, the youngest child of Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The first female MP for a Welsh seat, she was Liberal MP for Anglesey 1929–51 and was Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party 1949–51. She was devastated to lose her parliamentary seat and felt the radical tradition in Welsh politics had passed to the Labour Party. She joined Labour and represented Carmarthen from 1957 until her death in 1966. May 16 May 2010: Liberal Democrat Special Conference in Birmingham approves the coalition agreement with the Conservatives, paving the way for the Coalition Government. 20 May 1798: Radical Whig Charles James Fox, speaking to Whigs at Freemason’s Tavern, provokes the ire of his Tory arch-rival William Pitt the Younger, as well as his dismissal from the Privy Council, with a toast to ‘Our Sovereign Majesty, the people’.

  • Benjamin Britten's Liturgical Music and Its Place in the Anglican

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study presents a detailed analysis of the liturgical music of Benjamin Britten (1913- 1976). In addition to several pieces Britten wrote for the Anglican liturgy and one for the Roman Catholic Church, a number of other works, not originally composed for liturgical purpose, but which fonction well in a liturgical setting, are included, providing a substantial repertory which has hitherto received little critical commentary. Although not occupying a place of central importance in the composer’s musical output, it is argued that a detailed examination of this liturgical music is important to form a fuller understanding of Britten’s creative character; it casts additional light on the composer’s technical procedures (in particular his imaginative exploitation of tonal structure which embraced modality, free-tonality and twelve-tone ideas) and explores further Britten’s commitment to the idea of a composer serving society.
