Somerville Choir, in its present form, was founded by Francis Knights and Sam Bayliss in 2001 and practises in Somerville College Chapel.[3][1] The choir sings in the college chapel every Sunday during term and performs regularly in concerts organised by Somerville Music Society.[4][1] The choir has sung services and concerts at Blackburn, Coventry, Southwark, St Paul's, Wells, Worcester, Winchester cathedrals.[1] The choir has been involved in two opera productions: Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice and Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.[3] The choir also held concerts in Brighton, Oxford, Swindon and Upton.[3] In 2009/2010 the choir appeared in a memorial concert for Somerville alumna Iris Murdoch,[1] performed Händel's Messiah and gave a performance of John Tavener's Song for Athene in the presence of Tavener himself and his wife, a Somerville alumna.[5][6] In 2010/2011 the choir performed Bach's St John Passion and recorded its first commercial CD: 'Requiem æternam' (Maurice Duruflé's Requiem and Robin Milford's Mass for Five Voices), which was released by Stone Records in 2012.[3][7] The album features Guy Johnston (cello), Christine Rice (mezzo-soprano) and Mark Stone (baritone).[8] In 2011/2012 the choir performed Bach's Easter cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden and Schubert's Mass No. 2 with an orchestra and sang evensong at St Paul's Cathedral to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.[3][7][18] The choir also toured Lancashire, singing concerts at Blackburn Cathedral and Lancaster Priory.[9][10] Engagements in 2012/2013 included further performances at St Paul's Cathedral, a concert at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in London as well as the releasement of a second CD, 'Advent Calendar', autumn 2013.[3][7][11][12] The choir also made an appearance on BBC Radio 3.[7] In 2014 the choir sang evensong at Coventry Cathedral[13] and gave two performances of Bach's St John Passion featuring an orchestra and soloists from the Royal College of Music.[9] The organ of the college chapel is a traditionally voiced instrument by Harrison & Harrison.[14] Somerville offers up to five Choral Exhibitions each year to applicants reading any subject. College Organ Scholars are guaranteed rooms in college for the duration of their course.[15][16] ToursIn 2005 and 2009 the choir toured Germany under the patronage of the ambassador Sir Peter Torry and sang services and concerts in Berlin, Brandenburg and Potsdam.[3][17] Another foreign tour in 2010 took the choir to Italy where the group performed in Crema, Lodi and Milan.[3][17][12] In 2014 the choir undertook a tour of the United States, singing services and concerts at Washington National Cathedral and the National City Christian Church in Washington, D.C. as well as several venues in Massachusetts, Delaware.[17][7] In 2016 the choir toured the USA again and sang services and concerts in Virginia, New York City (such as Trinity Church and Grace Church) and Connecticut.[17] The choir will tour India in 2018 and will give concerts and outreach in Mumbai and Goa.[17] It will be the first tour to India by an Oxford college choir.[18] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.globaloceancommission.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/900238-Further-Particulars-Director-of-Chapel-Music-2016-v5.pdf|title=Further Particulars for the post of Director of Chapel Music|date=August 2016|publisher=Global Ocean Commission}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.some.ox.ac.uk/news/will-dawes-appointed-as-director-of-chapel-music/|title=Will Dawes appointed as Director of Chapel Music – Somerville College Oxford|publisher=University of Oxford}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Somerville-Choir.htm|title=Choir of Somerville College, Oxford (Choir)|website=www.bach-cantatas.com|last=Oron|first=Aryeh|date=March 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.some.ox.ac.uk/living-here/the-chapel/somerville-chapel-choir/|title=Somerville Chapel Choir|website=some.ox.ac.uk|access-date=16 September 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/11121623/Maryanna-Tavener-John-was-always-obsessed-by-death.html|title=Maryanna Tavener: 'John was always obsessed by death'|last=Hewett|first=Ivan|date=26 September 2014|publisher=The Daily Telegraph}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.choirplace.com/choirs/254/the-choir-of-somerville-college-oxford|title=The Choir of Somerville College, Oxford|access-date=16 September 2018|website=www.choirplace.com}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/4326200-Choir-of-Somerville-College-Oxford/tracks|title=Choir of Somerville College, Oxford|access-date=16 September 2018|website=Discogs}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://classical-iconoclast.blogspot.de/2012/09/durufle-milford-requiem-aeternam-stone.html|title=Milford, Duruflé Requiem Aeternam – Stone Records|website=classical-iconoclast.blogspot.de}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://music.gracechurchnyc.org/august-guest-choirs-sing-at-the-eucharist-sunday-evening-at-600-p-m/|title=Guest Choirs sing at the Eucharist Sunday Evening at 6:00 p.m. during August and September|access-date=16 September 2018|website=music.gracechurchnyc.org}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://lancasterpriory.org/music/video-clips-example/|title=Video clips|website=lancasterpriory.org|access-date=16 September 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://stonerecords.co.uk/album/advent-calendar|title=Advent calendar :: Stone Records, Independent Classical Music|website=stonerecords.co.uk}} 12. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://oums.org/colleges/somerville-choir/|title=Somerville College Choir|publisher=Oxford University Music Society|access-date=16 September 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.robert-smith.org.uk/news/category/services|title=Coventry Cathedral|website=www.robert-smith.org.uk|access-date=16 September 2018}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.npor.org.uk/NPORView.html?RI=N07885|title=The National Pipe Organ Register – NPOR|website=npor.org.uk}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.some.ox.ac.uk/living-here/the-chapel/choral-and-organ-scholarships/|title=Choral and Organ Scholarships|website=www.some.ox.ac.uk|access-date=16 September 2018}} 16. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxford/field/field_document/College%20Organ%20%26%20Choral%20Scholarship%20Details.pdf|title=Information on organ and choral scholarships in the colleges at oxford university applications for entry in 2018/19|access-date=16 September 2018|website=www.ox.ac.uk}} 17. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.somervillechoir.com/tours.html|title=Tours|website=www.somervillechoir.com}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.somervillechoir.com/performances.html|title=Future Events|access-date=6 September 2018|website=www.somervillechoir.com}} External links
