Angel now also has one of the best recordings of J. S. Bach's Magnificat in D (Angel 45027). Here the tenor is again Richard Lewis, whose Deposuit potentes de sede is one of the clearest and most satisfying interpretations of that aria; Geraint Jones conducts his own capable orchestra. On the same record--and, though unseasonal, it is probably this fact that leads us to prefer Jones' recording--is a performance of Henry Purcell's magnificent and rarely heard Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary.

...marching orders covered nearly everything from Portuguese oppression in Angola (disapproved by a narrow margin of 179-177) to admission of Red China into the U.N.

They started near Los Angeles in 1887 with coed Pomona, which in the 1920s decided to curb enrollment (now 1,085) by launching autonomous affiliates-Claremont University College (now 650 graduate students), Scripps (300 women), the postwar Claremont Men's College (450) and science-engineering Harvey Mudd College (230). On the group's 500 acres is room for seven more colleges...
