Olivier Messiaen , one of the most prominent and controversial figures in French music of recent years, has composed a large number of works, many of which derive their inspiration from religious sources. His Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps was written in 1940-41 while the composer was a prisoner-of-war at Gorlitz, Silesia. The work is inscribed: ' En hommage a I'Ange de I'Apocalypse, qui lève la main vers le eel en disant " II n'y aura plus de Temps." ' It was performed at the twentieth festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music, held in London in 1946. Harold Rutland

A Question of Dating
Talk by G. R. Driver
Professor of Semitic Philology at Oxford University
This is the first of two talks by Professor Driver on the scrolls discovered in 1947 in a cave at the north-western end of the Dead Sea. These scrolls have aroused considerable interest since their discovery and the publication of parts of them. Professor Driver discusses the various dates that have been ascribed to the scrolls and gives reasons why he places them somewhere between the second and fifth centuries A.D.
