The Night Office in 15th-century Oxford

On Tuesday 6 June at 9pm in chapel the choir will re-enact The Night Office as it may have been sung in 15th-century Oxford.

Dedicated to St Thomas Becket, this now forgotten service has been specially reconstructed by Dr Henry Parkes (Albi Rosenthal Visiting Fellow in Music at the Bodleian) as part of ‘Music in the Shadows’, a research project into the cultural history of Christian workshop.
