Trinity Term 2019

Chapel Services and Music

MAGDALEN COLLEGE OXFORD

COVER IMAGE: MAY MORNING, 2017 © MAGDALEN COLLEGE SCHOOL

We welcome you to our worshipping community at Magdalen. Prayer and praise have been offered to God in this place since the fifteenth century, when the College was founded by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester. The statutes of 1480 make provision for a Choir comprising sixteen boy Choristers and a number of adult Clerks, ‘that the worship of God, from whom all good things come, might be increased more widely and better sustained’. That tradition continues unchanged today. The Choirmaster at Magdalen retains the ancient Latin title Informator Choristarum, and among those who have held the post over the centuries are John Sheppard, Daniel Purcell, Sir John Stainer, Sir William McKie, and, in more recent years, Dr Bernard Rose. It is the aim of the Dean of Divinity and the Informator Choristarum that all our services here should be dedicated to the glory of God. Our music is not an end in itself but part of a larger whole. We hope that in the singing and in the silence, in the spoken word and in the beauty of this house of God, you will feel that greater presence, and be blessed by the peace that passes all understanding. MARK WILLIAMS JONATHAN ARNOLD Informator Choristarum Dean of Divinity

TRINITY TERM

Choral Services

Services are normally sung by Magdalen College Choir (men and boys). Evensong on Saturdays is normally sung by Magdalen Consort of Voices (men and women). Tuesdays are

usually sung by the Choristers alone, and Fridays by the Academical Clerks alone. Details are given in the Music List when services depart from this pattern, such as during the

school half-term holiday (25th May to 1st June). On Sundays, at the Eucharist, there is a short homily of approximately five minutes, and at Evensong a sermon of approximately ten

minutes. Evensong on Sundays is followed by drinks in the Antechapel.

Frideswide Voices

We are delighted that the girl choristers of Frideswide Voices, under the direction of Mr Will Dawes and accompanied on the organ by Mr Benjamin Banks, will be singing

services on Monday evenings throughout this term (with exceptions, details of which are given in the Music List). In Michaelmas and Hilary Terms, they were resident in Christ

Church and New College respectively. We are very glad to have them with us again, and the College Choir looks forward to a joint service with Frideswide Voices on 22nd May.

Visiting Choirs & Instrumentalists

It is a pleasure to welcome the Consort of the Oratory School, Woodcote to join the Academical Clerks of the College Choir for Choral Evening Prayer on Friday 3rd May, and

the Chamber Choir of Magdalen College School Junior School to join the Junior Choristers of the College Choir for Choral Evening Prayer on Tuesday 18th June.

On Saturday 1st June, the Consort of Voices are joined by the Instruments of Time and Truth for Evensong which will include J.S. Bach’s exuberant setting of the Magnificat.

Organ music

Organ music plays an integral part in our liturgy. Alexander Pott, Assistant Organist, and Rupert Jackson, Organ Scholar, play the organ for the majority of the services in Chapel.

Retiring Collections

Our retiring collections will go to support the work of our charity for Trinity Term, Emmaus, www.emmaus.org.uk, which works to eliminate homelessness by providing

meaningful work and a stable home for people in centres across the UK.

concerts and tours. If you are interested in joining the Friends of Magdalen College Choir or wish to discuss ways of supporting music at the College, please contact the Informator Choristarum, through Melanie Bennette, at [email protected], or collect a leaflet
