Talk by Jacquetta Hawkes
Frederick Gowland Hopkins (1861-1947) has been called the Founding Father of the science of bio-chemistry in Britain. A first cousin of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, he was in many ways unlike the popular conception of a scientist. This evening his daughter talks about his methods of thought and research.

Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha Triumphans was written for performance at Venice in 1716. The work, as edited by Vito Frazzi , was revived in Italy in 1941, and the score published in 1948 by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana. It is a long work, and for tonight's performance Trevor Harvey has selected the most interesting parts. There are a few choruses, but the oratorio consists mainly of recitatives and arias. One of the arias has an obbligato part for a mandoline; another has a particularly beautiful oboe solo; in yet another, three trumpets are used. Harold Rutland
