Appeal on behalf of The Friend of the Clergy Corporation, by The Lady Cynthia Colville , D.C.V.O., J.P.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Friend of the Clergy Corporation was founded to provide pensions for the widows and elderly unmarried daughters of deceased clergymen of the Church of England, and is now celebrating its centenary, having been founded on St. Stephen's Day, 1849. These ' unpaid curates '-the wives and daughters of clergymen-are doubly bereaved when the husband or father dies, as it means at once leaving their only home. In fact their whole life is uprooted—husband or father gone, means of livelihood gone, home gone, position gone. Today the situation is further complicated by the difficulty of finding fresh accommodation-to buy even a cottage is usually beyond their purse, and to rent a house, or even rooms, is a difficult and expensive business. A pension for life at such a time, with the implication that somebody cares, brings hope and comfort and rekindles faith.

Campoli (violin)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
(Leader, Paul Beard )
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Brahms had Joachim in mind when planning his Violin Concerto, and frequently asked the great violinist's advice; though in the end a number of his suggestions were not adopted. He it was, however, who played the Concerto for the first time, at Leipzig in 1879, with Brahms conducting. Like the Second Symphony, which is in the same key of D major, the Concerto was written at Portschach, an idyllic place by the Worthersee in the Austrian Alps, where Brahms loved to spend the summer months. Although the opening movement is generally smooth and pastoral in style, it has many elements of drama, and the soloist's powers are finely exploited. Serenity of mood and intricate decoration on the part of the viohnist mark the slow movement; and dancing rhythms the gypsy-like finale.
