The Choir of Merton College consists of 30 undergraduate and graduate students at Oxford University reading for degrees in a variety of subjects. The choir's primary duty is singing at regular services in the famous 13th-century Chapel.
Since the establishment of Merton’s Choral Foundation in 2008, the choir has gained an international reputation for offering the best of choral music through tours, recordings and broadcasts. In 2020, the choir won the award for best choral album at the BBC Music Magazine Awards for its recording of Gabriel Jackson’s The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The choir’s discography on the Delphian Label has seen numerous five star reviews and many recordings have been named ‘Editor’s Choice’ by Gramophone magazine.
The choir has appeared at The Three Choirs Festival and the Cheltenham Music Festival, and recent London appearances include performances at The Barbican, St John’s Smith Square, Cadogan Hall and The Temple Church. The choir is regularly heard in concert with orchestra, and recent collaborations have seen the choir perform with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Elgar’s The Apostles), Instruments of Time and Truth (Bach’s St Matthew Passion) and Oxford Baroque (Bach’s Mass in B minor). The choir’s annual festival, Passiontide at Merton, has an established place in Oxford’s musical calendar, and has led to exciting collaborations with such groups as The Cardinall’s Musick and The Marian Consort.
Merton College Choir regularly tours overseas, and has recently visited the USA, Hong Kong and Singapore, France, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. In 2017, the choir sang the first Anglican Service in St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
The choir’s commitment to contemporary music has seen numerous composers write for the choir. In recent years the choir has premiered works by Kerry Andrew, Birtwistle, Chilcott, Dove, Ešenvalds, Kendall, MacMillan, McDowall, Rutter, Tabakova and Weir. In recent years, the choir has given world premieres of a new works by Daniel Kidane, Roxanna Panufnik, Gabriel Jackson, Cheryl Frances-Hoad and John Rutter.

J'habite près de Pamiers, ville où Gabriel Fauré est né en 1845. Merci pour cette belle interprétation du Cantique de Jean Racine. I live near Pamiers, the town where Gabriel Fauré was born in 1845. Thank you for this beautiful interpretation of the Cantique by Jean Racine.
Wonderful. Who is the organist please?
Wonderful playing … really took advantage of everything this terrific instrument is capable of producing !
Please write to the Merton College website for information regarding this organist.
Madam, I just congratulated Irene Tracey for being appointed as the 51 st Warden of Merton College and I hope to award the similar congratulatory message to yourself as the 52 st Warden under Merton College and I sincerely hope that you retain this position eminently and for a considerable duration, congratulations, thank you, sincerely yours : Mpho Kesitwe Tshoagong
Great music and singing amazing organ. I watch a lot of these episodes. Xx
If nothing else, you're on the Tallis Scholar's home turf. Imagine singing in that same chapel where that titanic Spem in Alium was recorded. How Peter managed to fit a single file of 40 singers in that space is a separate conversation
Some *very* good looking recordings at the end there 😏
I am intrigued by the service as I was not predisposed to such and I may require such for my MBA enrollment in 2025 through 2026, thank you.
Hello I require some Letter of Invitation for my MBA enrollment under the Fulbright Scholar Program under Merton College and I sincerely request that you requisition such if possible and thank you for the compliment, thank you , mphokesitwetshoagong3552
Thank you all dearly!! ❤❤❤With gratitude and love, Ian
Lovely, as always:)
Thank you for this beautiful service. God bless you all.
Oh, jeepers! Wonderful organ well-played.
Just brilliant. Love it Benjamin. Such high quality.
Lovely command of dynamics:) Brewer never sounded better.
As a regular member of the congregation, I'm still able to enjoy these wonderful services from North Uist, via the livestream.
A wonderful service; the choir is lovely...my favorite canticles. Thank you, and best wishes to the Leavers in your futures:)
So very beautiful.
I am so happy to have come across these Choral Evensongs and Services! They have brought great joy to my life. I hope that you all have a great summer break. To those leaving the school you will be greatly missed and I hope that life will treat you well. May The Peace of the Lord Be With You All. (You will be missed!) Amen. Gratefully yours in love and peace: Ian
Please keep me in your prayers.
❤I watch all of these videos. These are a huge blessing in my life. They help bring great joy to my life! Thank you ❤ 🙏 Ian
Beautiful!
Nicely done organist...beautiful rendition of the Bach.
Beautifully sung alto solo...
Francois is goated
I love these videos so so much. They are a tremendous blessing in my life. Thank you! ♥🙏❣Ian
Thank you. And that may be the best sermon I've heard about the Ascension.
I ❤ and am so thankful for these videos 🙏🎁Ian
I love it. There is nothing like a well sung choral evensong. And Merton are a joy to listen to. Thank you.
Thank you, Merton College Chapel, for your soul stirring singing. I have a request to make, please. Is it possible to be naming the tunes of the hymns and composers of chants? Thank you
Beautiful
That Day chant is fab 😊
I ❤this so much 🙏
Loved it
You have a great choir, Mr Nick. A real joy to listen to.
Thank you.
Both The Choir and Organist consistently excellent.. the service beautifully performed.
A wonderful moment of musical beauty and spiritual reflection. THANK YOU!
Since some month I follow and listen to the magnificant choir and it brings me much emotion because their perfect voices represent their attitude for being the best! (despite my lack of being a real christian since 50 years) Impressive! I will follow and like to visit an Evensong when I visit your Chapel when I am in your country!
These services doth restoreth one’s soul. Thank you…from America.
Thank you, very nice services to enjoy from Canada in the extreme -40C cold. Was that a high Cypher during the Dubois ?
The high B, which is held throughout the entire piece (often provided by wedging the key down with a pencil or a weight but, in this case, played by the senior organ scholar) represents the star which guided the Magi.
Thank you.
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🌈
I enjoyed myself.
superb voices
Beautiful organ registration tone choices!
Wonderful service! We admire Carol's and share the spirit in our church as well. th-cam.com/users/liveA9Wk7RIahys?si=0l5sq7S2i3d4KxNE&t=3398
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us all! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you SO much for this!!! ❤
