In this reading of ' Lycidas ', the object has been to arrange music which will fit the contrasting moods and rhythms of the poem and yet will be continuous throughout the reading. Boris Ord , with the help of Ronald Watkins , the reader, has selected the musical background from gramophone records of Purcell's music.
Ronald Watkins is well known to listeners as a reader of poetry. Boris Ord is a Bachelor of Music in the University of Cambridge, and is organist at King's College ; he has broadcast harpsichord recitals in the Foundations of Music and on other occasions.
