Michaelmas Term 2021 Chapel Services and Music MAGDALEN COLLEGE OXFORD
COVER IMAGE: DETAIL FROM STALLS CARVING, MAGDALEN COLLEGE CHAPEL
© HUGH WARWICK
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 ANDREW BOWYER Informator Choristarum Dean of Divinity
MICHAELMAS TERM
Choral Services
Services are normally sung by the College Choir made up of boy Choristers, educated at
Magdalen College School, and male and female Academical Clerks, who are ordinarily
students at the College. Evensong on Saturdays is normally sung by the Consort of Voices,
in which sopranos join the Academical Clerks. Tuesdays are usually sung by the Choristers
alone, and Fridays by the Academical Clerks alone. Compline on Tuesdays is usually sung by
two cantors drawn from the Academical Clerks and Consort of Voices, and occasionally by a
larger ensemble. Details are given in the Music List when services depart from this pattern,
such as during the school half-term holiday (23rd to 29th October). At Festal Evensongs
marking saints’ days and major feasts of the Church’s year, a seasonal antiphon is sung. On
Sundays, at the Eucharist, there is a short homily of approximately five minutes, and at
Evensong (in some weeks) a sermon of approximately ten minutes. On Sundays, the
Eucharist is followed by a simple lunch, and Evensong by drinks.

Organ music
Organ music plays an integral part in our liturgy. Alexander Pott (Assistant Organist) and
Romain Bornes (Organ Scholar) play for the majority of the services in Chapel, assisted from
time to time by the Informator Choristarum and Organist, Mark Williams, who ordinarily
directs the Choir.
Retiring Collections
Our retiring collections will go to support the work of the Chapel’s chosen charity for the
term, Asylum Welcome, Oxfordshire, www.asylum-welcome.org, which offers advice
and practical support to refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants living in
Oxfordshire.
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 Administrator, at choir@magd.ox.ac.uk.
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 choir@magd.ox.ac.uk, or collect a leaflet
from the table at the entrance to the Chapel.

Who can consider as an enemy one with whom he has sung God’s praises with one voice?
Hence singing the psalms imparts the highest good, love, for it uses communal singing as a bond of
unity, and it harmoniously draws people to the symphony of one choir.
