“How to Escape the Woke Matrix”

The London School of Economics does not have a single central, marquee building that defines the entire campus as typical for many US colleges and universities. Rather, it consists of a collection of buildings located around the Aldwych and Clare Market areas in central London. However, some notable buildings include:

Old Building: One of the most iconic and historic buildings of LSE, often associated with the institution’s identity.

New Academic Building: A modern and well-equipped facility that hosts a variety of academic departments and student services.

Lionel Robbins Library: Home to the British Library of Political and Economic Science, one of the largest libraries in its field.

Centre Building: A newer addition to the campus, providing state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and learning.

These structures collectively define that LSE settlement in central London.

“All People That On Earth Do Dwell”

RE: Ralph Vaughn Williams interpretation:

Harmonization of the Tune: “All People That on Earth Do Dwell” is set to the tune “Old Hundredth,” which is one of the most well-known hymn tunes and dates back to the 16th century. Vaughan Williams created a notable harmonization of this tune for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. His arrangement brought a fresh and majestic quality to the already beloved hymn, making it suitable for grand ceremonial occasions.
Orchestration for the Coronation Service: Vaughan Williams not only harmonized the hymn but also orchestrated it for a full choir and orchestra for the coronation service. This orchestration enhanced the hymn’s grandeur and was used during the recessional at the end of the service, leaving a lasting impression on the attendees and listeners.
Influence on Hymnody: Vaughan Williams’ work on “All People That on Earth Do Dwell” is part of his broader impact on hymnody. Through his contributions, including this specific harmonization and orchestration, he helped to elevate and modernize hymn singing within the Anglican tradition and beyond.

Hosanna to the Son of David

Matthew 21:1-11 recounts the events of Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem:

1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: 5 “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

The term “Hosanna” originates from Hebrew and is often translated as “Save, we pray” or “Save us, we pray.” It is an expression of adoration, praise, and supplication. It’s origins lie in the events of Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. According to the Gospels, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while crowds of people laid palm branches and their cloaks on the road, shouting “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

“My Song Is Love Unknown”

“My Song is Love Unknown” is a hymn written by Samuel Crossman, an Anglican clergyman and poet, in the 17th century. Crossman was born in 1624 and studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He later became a fellow of the college and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England.

The hymn was first published in Crossman’s collection of poetry titled “The Young Man’s Meditations” in 1664. It is believed that Crossman wrote this hymn as a reflection on the mystery of God’s love revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hymn beautifully captures the essence of Christ’s sacrificial love and the profound impact it has on believers.

The text of “My Song is Love Unknown” consists of nine stanzas, each exploring different aspects of Christ’s love, from His humble birth to His agonizing death on the cross. It invites listeners to contemplate the depth of God’s love as demonstrated in Jesus’ willingness to suffer and die for humanity’s redemption.

The hymn has endured through the centuries and remains a beloved part of Christian worship, particularly during the Lenten season when the themes of Christ’s passion and sacrifice are central. The melody most commonly associated with “My Song is Love Unknown” was composed by John Ireland, a British composer, in the early 20th century. Ireland’s hauntingly beautiful melody perfectly complements Crossman’s poignant lyrics, making the hymn a powerful expression of faith and devotion.
