The Music List for the New College Choir in Michaelmas Term 2019

1. New College
Oxford
Chapel Services
Michaelmas Term
2019

3. ELCOME 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
The Revd Susan Bridge, Associate Chaplain
HE Organist 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 Chorister Open Day in the summer provides an
introduction to chorister life and to New College School, where choristers receive
generous bursaries.
The Organist also welcomes contact with senior school musicians interested in
applying for a choral award in New College. Interested applicants can find
information on the University of Oxford website, or in the choral and organ scholar
brochure on the choir website. New College’s own ‘Experience Evensong’
programme 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 further details and to contact the
Organist, please email the Choir Administrator: choir@new.ox.ac.uk.

In addition to the services listed in this booklet, the chapel hosts events for students

on Thursdays from 1.00-2.00 pm in 3 OB 6.
Sunday Evensong is followed by drinks in the Undercroft for students, staff and
fellows of the college.
The Good Life is a series of conversations among New College fellows reflecting on
what their research tells us about a life well-lived. This term Professor Kia Nobre
and Dr Mark Stokes from the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity will be in
conversation in the antechapel at 3.00 pm on Sunday 24 November, followed by tea
in the Warden’s lodgings.
Special Services this term include:
Freshers’ Evensong to welcome all new students at 6.30 pm on Saturday 12 October.

matriculated as students at New College is at 5.45 pm on Sunday 27 October. The
Revd Professor Jane Shaw, Principal of Harris Manchester College and former Dean
of Divinity of New College, will be preaching, and the service will feature music
composed by women sung by New College Choir with the girl choristers of
Frideswide Voices.
For the feast of All Souls the choir will sing Duruflé’s Requiem and we will
remember loved ones who have died. Please send names of any loved ones you would
like to be remembered to the Chapel Administrator, Nancy-Jane Rucker (nancy-
jane.rucker@new.ox.ac.uk).

5. HE CAROL SERVICES are on Sundays 1 and 8 December at 4.00 pm.
Members of college and choir families will receive an email from the Chapel
Administrator later in term inviting them to apply for tickets. There are very
few tickets available for non-members of college and we are unable to accommodate
outside groups.
There will also be College Family Carols on Wednesday 11 December at 4.30 pm,
for staff, students and fellows of the college and their families only.
For students there will be a Christmas Tree Decorating Party at 4.00 pm on
Tuesday 3 December, followed by a Blessing of the Tree at evensong.
Midnight Mass is at 11.00 pm on Christmas Eve. The music is sung by Collegium
Novum Choir (not New College Choir). Students, staff and fellows of the college are
invited to email the Dean of Divinity to reserve places for themselves and their guests
for the service and for drinks afterwards in the Warden’s lodgings.
