Picture by E.F. Caldin, D. Phil., Lecturer in Chemistry at Leeds University
Dr. Caldin discusses, from the point of view of a scientist, some issues suggested by the work of Karl Heim. He examines the difference between the scientific and philosophical methods of thinking and maintains that theological beliefs based on the Christian revelation are, as regards method, in another category altogether. He discusses the use of scientific world-pictures as symbols of theological beliefs.

William B. Coates, who has arranged these programmes, writes: "The most important form of English instrumental music before the Fantasy, and one not used in any other country, was the 'In Nomine', of which more than 170 examples, written between 1540 and 1680, survive. The 'In Nomine', the riddle of whose name has only recently been solved, is based on a fixed theme played in long notes round which the other parts weave a rich contrapuntal texture. The pieces vary greatly in mood, length, and difficulty, and may well become a rich addition to the chamber musician's repertory."
