Trinity Term 2016 Services and Music Magdalen College Oxford 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 comprised of 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 always that 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. Daniel Hyde Richard Lloyd Morgan Informator Choristarum Interim Dean of Divinity Trinity Term 2016 Services listed in bold type are sung by the College Choir This term’s weekend retiring collections will help support the work of two charities. April 24 – May 21 Christian Aid Responding to medical and humanitarian emergencies worldwide.

Services Services are normally sung by Magdalen College Choir (men and boys). With the exception of 30 April, 7 May, 11 and 18 June, Evensong on Saturdays is sung by Magdalen Consort of Voices (men and women). Tuesdays are sung by boys alone, and Fridays are sung by men alone. During the school half-term holiday, services from 29 May to 3 June will be sung by men alone. Organ music Organ music plays in integral part in our liturgy. Alexander Berry (Assistant Organist), and Anna Lapwood and William Fox (Organ Scholars), play the organ for the majority of the services in Chapel. Choir Recordings and Concerts Details of all currently available choir recordings and forthcoming concerts may be found at the back of this booklet.
