Summary
The Memorial Requiem Mass for Lennox Randal Francis Berkeley (1903–1989) took place at Westminster Cathedral on Tuesday 20 March 1990 and was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Before the service radio listeners heard a recording of Berkeley's Duo for cello and piano, op. 81/1 (Julian Lloyd Webber and John McCabe, Oiseau-Lyre dslo 7100) and Fr Cormack Rigby was responsible for presentation throughout. The music in Westminster Cathedral opened with Bach's ‘Herzlich tut mich verlangen’ and then the second of Berkeley's Three Pieces for organ, op. 72/1. The celebrant was His Eminence Cardinal George Basil Hume, OSB, Archbishop of Westminster. The address was given by Bishop Gordon Wheeler; there were readings by Tony Scotland and this tribute by Sir John Manduell CBE. The music consisted of Berkeley's Mass for Five Voices, op. 64; Ubi caritas, op. 96/2; Michael Berkeley's Qui me dignatus est; Lennox Berkeley's ‘O that I once past changing were’ (Festival Anthem, op. 21/2) and Toccata (Three Pieces, op. 72/1) with James O'Donnell, Master of the Music, and Iain Simcock, organ.
I am conscious that I shall be speaking for many people in this cathedral today when I say that to have known Lennox is to have enjoyed the precious privilege of receiving and sharing the friendship of a man who possessed many rare qualities in wonderfully rich profusion.
