Chapel Services
Michaelmas Term
2018

2. WELCOME to New College chapel. Music and worship have been at the heart of the college
since 1379, when William of Wykeham founded the college for ‘the increase of divine
worship’ as well as ‘the growth of the Liberal Arts, Sciences and branches of learning’.
Today chapel services gather students, staff and fellows to mark key moments in the
academic year, and serve as a respite from the busy life of term. A few services are
particularly for members of the college, but most are open to all, and all are welcome. This
booklet includes the music for each service, and can be used alongside the Evensong card
and Sung Eucharist booklet; but chapel services ask very little of those who come through
the door, as the combined voices of the choir raise our pleas to God, and we are merely
invited to be still in this place where prayer has been valid for many centuries. Whether
you are a person of strong faith or none, a member of college or a first-time visitor, may
you find peace and light in your time here.
The Revd Dr Erica Longfellow,
Dean of Divinity, New College
~~~
The Organist, Robert Quinney, is always happy to hear of potential choristers in school
years 1 and 2, and auditions all candidates for choristerships. Formal auditions take place
in January for boys in year 2 for the choir’s probationer programme, which starts in year 3.
The Organist also welcomes contact with senior school musicians interested in applying for
a choral award in New College. The ‘Experience Evensong’ opportunity offers young
singers an opportunity to sing Evensong during University Term and to talk to choir staff
and current choral scholars.
All information about choristerships and choral scholarships, as well as the Music List,
Term Card, and details of concerts and recordings, can be found on the choir’s website,
www.newcollegechoir.com. For more details and to contact the Organist, please email
the Chapel Administrator on nancy-jane.rucker@new.ox.ac.uk.
Saturday organ recitals this term feature past and present New College Organ Scholars. All
are welcome to these short (30-minute) recitals which follow after Evensong at 19.15: entry
is free.
