POP MUSIC…

In 1962 “The Beatles” started a new kind of music. It came partly from rhythm and blues, but the Beatles created their own special style and sound.

After the beginning made by the Beatles many new pop groups came into being. The “Rolling Stones”, with their wonderful vocalist Mick Jagger, became the most popular of them all.

Some years later the United States became a new centre of pop music. The most famous American pop singer was Bobo Dylan. He sang about the young people in America, about their problems and their life.

Black people in America had their own star, too. Jimii Hendrix was a composer and wonderful guitar player. He was also a fine singer. The music he used to play was a new kind of rhythm and blues.

There were other groups and singers, too, and they used various styles. John Mayall played and sang the blues. His music was called”white” because it was not the traditional Negro blues. Procol Harum used classical music in their songs. Another group tried to play pop and jazz.

All those different styles are called pop music because there is no better name for them.

The music of such modern groups as “Pink Floyd”, King Crimson”, Emerson, Lake and Palmer” or “The Mahavishnu Orchestra” is very interesting, but it is difficult and cannot be called “popular”.

Big Ben

The name originally referred to the bell of the Saint Tower also called the Clock Tower which belonged to the Westminster Palace. At present, the name Big Ben often refers both to the bell as well as to the clock and the Tower itself.

The building of the neogothic tower was stanted when most of the Palace burned down in 1834.

The bell was named after sir Benjamin Hall, the main commissioner of the building in 1858. Other sources say that this common name comes from the name of Benjamin Caunt, a popular athlete at that time. The final opening took place on 31 May 1859. The bell weighs 13 tonnes. The clock is the biggest in Great Britain. Four faces are 7,5 meters in diameter each and the lands are 4,25 meters long.

Tower of London

The tower of London’s official name is Her Majesty’s and Fortress, The Tower of London. It is a fortress and a palace of English monarchs, although the last monarch, who used it was James I (1566 – 1625).

During its fascinating history the building was a fortress, a prison, a palace and even a zoo. In the famous building guarded by special guards called Beefeaters, you can see:

· the traitor’s gate

· priceless crown jewels

· imperial crown

· (?) with a cross and (?)

· royal ring

· armours

The legend says that when the ravens disappear from the Tower, the whole British Kingdom will fall.

The Buckingham Palace

It’s an official residence of the British monarchs which at the same time is the biggest royal palace still having its original function. It’s an official London residence of the Queen.

The palace was built in 1703 as a city residence of the Duke of Buckingham. In 1762 the king of England George III owned the palace which was made into a private residence. Within the next 75 years, the palace was extended several times and in 1837 it was announced an official seat of the British monarchs.

At present, the Buckingham Palace, except from London’s of the Queen

Elisabeth II and the royal family, is also the place of national celebrations and official meetings of the heads of states. For the British, the palace is a symbol of Great Britain; it was here that Londoners put flowers after the death of Diana – princess of Wales. Nowadays, certain part of the palace is available for the public. On the square in front of the Palace there is a statue of the Queen Victoria.

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is the most important, English shrine together with the Canterbury Cathedral and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London City.

The Abbey since William the Conquerer times (1066) has been the place where kings of England are crowned. Since XIII century the Abbey has been the place where kings and dignified people are buried. According to the legend, the shrine was built in 616 on a place called Thorney Island at that.

In 1220 Henry III extended it with Lady Chapel and 25 years later he started thorough restoration of the whole Abbey in the shape which remained until today.

There are about 3300 people buried in the Abbey. Among them there are great poets and writers, musicians, actors, scientists and architects, Except from that, there are over 600 commemorating tables devoted to the people not buried in Abbey.

The first poet buried in Westminster Abbey was Geoffrey Chaucer in 1400. There are also graves of Karol Dickens, Roberta Browning i Rudyard Kipling. Many poets and writers – e.g. because of not too righteous way of life they lived or lack of (?) during their lives – were not allowed to have been buried there. As late as many years after their deaths, commemorating tables were put there. Among them, there were Shakespeare, Burns, Blake.

Henry VII was one of the most famous English kings. A television series and a film were made about Henry VIII and his six wives a few years

ago.

Henry^’s first wife was Catherine of Aragon. Her son died when he was still a small years because he wanted a son. Then he married Ann Boleyn, but he thought that she was too interested in the other men at the court beheaded in the Tower of London and Henry married Jane Seymour. He loved her more than all his other wives, but she died one year later when her son, Edward, was born.

Once again Henry looked for a new queen. His advisers gave him the name of Anne of Cleves, who lived in Holland, and he wanted to see her face. In those days there were no photographs so the painter, Holbein, painted Anne`s portrait for Henry. The king liked it very much and asked Anne to come to England at once. When she arrived , he saw that she did not look like the woman in the picture at all. She was very ugly. She did not like Henry, either, and very quickly they decided to separate.

After his divorce from Anne, Henry married Catherine Howard. She was too interested in other men, like Anne Boleyn, and like her, she was beheaded. Henry`s last wife was Catherine Parr. She survived the king, who died when he was fifty-six.

Elizabeth II became a queen after her father's death in 1952. She is one of the longest reigning monarch in United Kingston. As a queen she is head of a state, she appears in over 400 pubic ceremonies, often abroad. She spends her free among time in the country dogs and horses.

He is interested in architecture and protection of natural environment. He got married with Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. His wife obtained the title of Princesses of Wales. Carol has two sons: William & Harry.

Diane, princess of Wales was born in 1961, she was a daughter of Earl Spencer. She worked for many charity organisations, especially for those which help children. Carol and Daina were divorced. Diana died 31 august 1997 in car accident in Paris, France. She was only 36 years old.
