Moderate Catholic leaders, although fearful of the Protestant reaction, voiced a predominant mood of relief that they were no longer governed by the Protestant Unionist Party at the Parliament in Stormont. "Catholics have lost the feel of jackboot Unionism," exulted Gerry Fitt, leader of the Social and Democratic Labor Party.

But after Florida, strangely enough...
...opening Magnificat by John Taverner was pure and on pitch--a welcome relief from the shakiness common to amateur groups' lead pieces at a concert. The chant that began the Magnificat was perfect simplicity and contrasted strongly with the thick polyphonic texture that followed. Of the eleven sections, the Gloria was superb. One huge melisma on the second syllable of principio seemed to suspend all motion and thought...
