Описание: We have fallen out of belonging. Consequently, when we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, we have no rituals to protect, encourage and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. This book is an attempt to reach into that tenuous territory of change that we must cross.

David Benedictus was only twenty-three when his shock-filled, highly controversial first novel was published in 1962. In The Fourth of June, Benedictus shows what it was like to have attended Eton College, one of England's most prestigious schools. Among its hallowed buildings, a boy is savagely beaten into paralysis by his House Captain, a bishop spends his evening spying on a chaplain's half-dressed daughter, and a housemaster is seduced by a desperate mother. Condemned by some reviewers as a farrago of sex, snobbery, and sadism, The Fourth of June nonetheless met with rave reviews from other critics, who proclaimed Benedictus one of the most promising new novelists of his generation, and went on to be a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic.

This new edition, the first in more than 30 years, includes an introduction by the author.

Описание: Karl Jenkins' 'Benedictus', the penultimate movement from 'The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace', is now firmly established as a classic in its own right. In the words of Guy Wilson, former Master of the Armouries and commissioner of the parent work, 'even the survivors can be hurt to destruction by war. The Benedictus heals those wounds in its slow and stately affirmation of faith'. This new publication makes the Benedictus available for performance as a separate work, with piano accompaniment. The score includes the iconic introductory cello solo part on its own page, although performance with cello is optional. The edition is compatible with that in the complete Armed Man vocal score and therefore with the work's scorings for orchestra, ensemble, brass band and concert band.
