Your news story on the Teaching Fellows organizational meeting of Wednesday, February 15, described the occasion as "tumultous." Indeed it was.

Brilliantly performed, Requiem was distinctly modern but never abrasively atonal, a somber, moving prayer celebrating man and his God. For Josephs, 39, the success of his Requiem marks him as one of Britain's most promising young composers. He is something of a late-bloomer, he says, because to support himself...
