Introduced by Professor H. C. Allen, Commonwealth Fund Professor of American History at University College, London
In the United States the term 'communist' is one of abuse. Yet, there are some likenesses and even affinities between America and Russia: both are great technological Powers with supranational interests. Do Americans now distinguish adequately between what is Russian and what is communist in the Soviet Union?

The economics of polyphony
by Peter Burke, Lecturer in History at the University of Sussex

How far is the flowering of later medieval music, especially In the fifteenth century, related to the growth of towns, trade, and industry, at the expense of the old feudal order? Certainly Italy and The Netherlands, two great centres of musical activity, were also scenes of intense urban development. Peter Burke considers whether it is true that 'The Netherlands had Josquin des Pres when they could afford him.'

This talk has been devised in relation to the current series of programmes of medieval music.
