Chapel Services

Michaelmas Term

2019

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: [email protected].

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.

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-

outside groups.
