And why did one of the 20th century's most influential composers call birds "the greatest musicians on our planet" and use 47 varieties of birdsong in one of his best-loved works? <img src="http://newsroom.ucla.edu/rss.ashx?id=4517" height="1" width="1" />]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:59:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><author>Carolyn Campbell</author><title>UCLA announces new Herb Alpert School of Music</title><link>http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/ucla-enters-a-new-era-in-music-40261.aspx?link_page_rss=40261</link><guid>http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/ucla-enters-a-new-era-in-music-40261.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[UCLA announced today the formation and naming of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and a $30 million endowment gift made possible through the generosity of the renowned performer, producer and philanthropist Herb Alpert and his wife, Lani Hall Alpert.

At its height in the Middle Ages, the basilica of Santiago de Compostela was second only to Rome and the Holy Lands in attracting Christian pilgrims. The exhibition illustrates the resurgent interest since the 1980s in the 500-mile trek from the French border to the basilica, which is reputed to contain remains of the biblical apostle St. James.
