Miss Mary Phillips Webster gave a successful concert-lecture on "Music in England in Shakespere's Time" in the Fogg Lecture Room last evening for the benefit of the Radcliffe musical scholarship fund. The age of Queen Elizabeth was particularly a musical one, she said. The gayety of the times and the growth of the masque fostered the development of music, especially vocal music. The prominent composers of the time were John Benet, John Wilbye, Thomas Ford, Peter Phillips, Thomas Campion, and William Byrd. Selections from their compositions were very well received.
