Malcolm Williamson, Master of the Queen's Musick

Apr. 17 Master Of The Queen's Musick Composes Jubilee Hymn In West Country Friary: Malcolm Williamson, 44 year old Australian Master of the Queen Musick, retreated to the peace of a Franciscan Friary in Dorset to compose a hymn in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Malcolm is the first Australian ever to hold the 100 a year post, formerly held by Sir Arthur Bliss for 22 years. To ensure his complete seclusion, he has even had the telephone cut off in the room where he is living, furnished only with a table and a few chairs
