The Divine Office was an extraordinary, immersion in plain chant and polyphony, with a little later music added for contrast and variety, played and sung by outstanding singers and instrumentalists. Most concerts were canle-lit and given in college chapels, whose names record their medieval origins, Merton, New, Magdalen, Christ's. A stunning contrast was provided by a performance of music in the Russian Tradition by 'Tenebrae', which took place on the rooftop amphitheatre of the Said Business School. A programme of lectures took place in the Oxford Union, expanding on the copious programme notes issued with the final documents, and there were opportunities for additional chapel and library visits. The highlight, musically and dramatically is the day of the Divine office itself - 8 concerts of varying lengths sung with alternating chant and polyphony, sprinkled with imaginative, contemplative readings delivered magnificently by one of my all time favourite actors - Sir Alex Jennings. This being a Martin Randall tour, every aspect of the week is organised and checked in advance so that the entire schedule progresses apparently effortlessly, although the planning involved must put many a military operation into the shade.
