E—12 MUSIC SELEGTED FOR GORONATION Five New Compositions Make Appearance in “Service Book.” BY. H. J. J. SARGINT. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. LONDON, May 8 (N.AN.A).—The music to be played during the corona- tion has now been chosen and has been issued in the form of a ‘“service book” under the authority of the mas- ter of the King's music, Sir Walford Davies, and the organist of Westmin- ster Abbey, Dr. Ernest Bullock. Five new compositions make their appearance in the book. The first is the anthem, “Let My Prayer Come Up.” which is sung at the beginning of the communion service after the King has had administered to him by the Archbishop of Canterbury the dec- laration prescribed by act of Parlia- ment. The composer is Sir Edward Bairstow of York Minster. The music of the confortare, which follows immediately upon the placing of the crown on the King's head, has been written by Sir Walford Davies himself and this is followed by six anthems which will be sung during the time when homage is done to the sovereign by the princes and peers. The new music includes a long work entitled “Te Deum Laudamus,’ writ- ten by Dr. Vaughan Williams. This will be sung after the blessing and will be the final music of the ceremony except for the national anthem. Homage Anthems. Great periods of English church music are represented in the homage anthems and include works by Chris- topher Tye, Purcell, Orlando Gibbons, Boyce and 8. S. Wesley, while a still | earlier age contributes music for the | communion by William Byrd and the Pastor Noster by John Merbecke, who was organist of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, in 1540, and who war after- ward convicted of heresy and sen- tenced to be burned at the stake, from which he was saved by the in- tervention of the Bishop of Win- | chester, prelate of the Order of the Garter. The anthem to be sung as their majesties enter the Abbey is Sir Hubert Parry's setting of the beginning of the 122nd psalm, “I was glad when they | said said unto me, let us go into the | house of the Lord.” In this anthem, Parry has incorporated the shouts of “vivite,” with which, by ancient custom, the King's scholars of West- minster School who have places in the Abbey greet the King and Queen. Composition by Handel. ‘There is also that imposing piece of music, written by Handel for the coronation of George II, “Zadoc the Priest and Nathan the Prophet.” from the first Book of Kings. This anthem, which has always formed | patrolmen entitled | an integral part of the coronation | ceremonies of English monarchs since George II, is sung during the anoint- | ing All the church bells throughout the land will be ringing during the | coronation ceremony. At certain ancient churches, such as St. Mar- | garet’s, Westminster, the - official | church of the House of Commons, | definite fees are claimed by Jthe bell| ringers on these great occasions. The | records show, for instance, that the ringers received five shillings at the coronation of George IV in 1821, but at the crowning of William and Mary, a century and a half before, they re- ceived only a shilling each. The same amount was paid to the bell men of that church in the days of Queen Elizabeth “for ringing at the be- | heading of Mary Queen of Scots.” | Bells of St. Clement's. | Other notable churches whose bells will be heard on coronation day will be St. Clement’s Dane in the Strand, which records the Danish overlordship | of England a thousand years ago and more and still bears as its badge an anchor in commemoration of the overseas character of the Danes. The bells of this church are commemo- rated in the old nursery rhyme about: | “Oranges and lemons Say the bells of St. Clement's.” Another church whose bells will be heard in London will be St. Mary Le | Bow in Cheapside, whose bells «Bow; Bells) make every one born within their sound a Cockney.

Remember this when sailing along serenely on the country high- ways. Illumination is poor at night— especially on curves and just beyond hill crests, when you are faced bvl the glaring lights of an approaching | car. Pedestrians who walk on high- ways should wear some light-colored article of clothing and they should always walk on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic. When cars pass each other directly oppo- site them, pedestrians should step out onto the shoulder of the road. - . Australia will build a radio research laboratory next year. SOCIETY.

LONDON, May 8. —Tomorrow marks the 266th anniversary of the most daring burglary in British history, when a swashbuckling Irishman stole the crown jewels. Some of those same jewels which will blaze from King George VI's crown when he is formally made King in vaulted Westminster Abbey next ‘Wednesday slipped through the avari- cious fists of the notorious Col. Thomas Blood on that chill day in 1671. Soldier, adventurer, poseur, thief, the burly Irishman gained his rank in Cromwell's Army, and while palming | himself off as a physician in London | NDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, {GROWN STOLEN conceived the amazing plan of lnb- bing the jewels. In those days the jewels were not s0 strongly guarded as today. They were kept on the ground floor of Mar- tin Tower in an iron cage, and an 88-year-old keeper entrusted with their care. Blood Struck Up Friendship. ‘The keeper lived in the upper floors, and Blood, now disguised as a parson, struck up a friendship. He soon had the garrulous old man elabbing ex- pectantly about the idea of a marriage between the -keeper's daughter and | Blood's “modestly rich nephew.” It was a romantic hour Blood ar- ranged for a meeting between the “nephew” and the daughter—7 o'clock the morning of May 9. The old keeper peered through his door and admitted the colonel. ‘With the colonel were three swords- men. The old man was knocked down and gagged in a Jiffy. Blood got into the cage, snatched the crown, took a wooden mallet and caved in its arches to make it easier to carry concealed beneath his cloak.

They carried their haul beneath their cloaks; the filed scep- ter was left behind as a too-trouble- some job.
