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 3rd June). At Festal Evensongs marking saints’ days and major feasts of the Church’s year, the Choir sings a seaonsal antiphon, and the altar is censed during the Magnificat. 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 Joseph Barber, 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, and we are very glad to have them with us again this year.

Visiting Choirs

It is a pleasure to welcome Tiffin Boys’ Choir to join the College Choir for Festal Evensong on St Mark’s Day (Wednesday 25th April). We are also very glad to welcome the Chapel Choir of Summer Fields School, Oxford, to sing Evensong at 6pm on Tuesday 1st May, and the Liturgical Choir of St Martin, Roath, Cardiff, to sing Evensong at 6pm on Monday 28th May.

Organ music

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

APRIL TO JULY 2018

Retiring Collections

Our retiring collections will go to support the work of our charity for Trinity Term, Oxford Poverty Action Trust, www.oxpat.org, which works to alleviate visible and invisible poverty in Oxford, through the support of organisations providing shelter, food, day centres, clothing, advice and medical care to people in need.

Supporting the Choir and Chapel

The Chapel and Choir are grateful for the generous support of the College for their core activities, but look to benefactors to support additional activities, including recordings, 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 from the back of the Chapel.

Membership of the Choir

The Informator Choristarum, Mark Williams, is always pleased to hear from prospective applicants for Choristerships, Academical Clerkships and Organ Scholarships. To arrange an informal meeting, please email Melanie Bennette, the Chapel and Choir PA, at [email protected].
