Fifty Years of the Liturgical Movement
A series of three talks
1: Changing the face of the Church by Fr. Charles Davis , S.T.L. Professor of Theology
St. Edmund's College, Ware
The modern Liturgical Movement originated in the Roman Catholic Church at the Malines Conference of 1909. Since then its influence has steadily grown and has spread to many other Churches. It has inspired radically new forms of religious art and church architecture. Yet these are merely the symptoms of symbols of what is fundamentally a doctrinal reformation, based on fresh insights into the central Christian beliefs and what they imply for worship and life. Between them the three contributors to this group of talks will comment on all these aspects of what is, in fact, a complex process of change, experiment, and discovery.
Second talk, by the Rev. Peter Hammond : May 20

Part 2: Mahler SYMPHONY No. 4

Six talks by E. H. CARR
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge 6: The Widening Horizon
These talks are a broadcast version of Professor Carr's Trevelyan Lectures given earlier this year. In the last talk Professor Carr discusses the cult of the irrational in the English-speaking world today which takes the form mainly of a depreciation of the achievements and potentialities of reason. He believes that this is part of the current wave of pessimism and ultra-conservatism.

Holy Sonnets of John Donne
O my blacke soule; Batter my heart; O might those sighes and teares; Oh, to vex me: What if this present; Since she whom I loved; At the round earth's imagined corners; Thou hast made me; Death, be not proud
La belle est au jardin d'amour Le rol s'en va-t'en chasse
