Repertoire will include anthems "Like as the Hart," "O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" and the canticles "Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis" written for New College Oxford. The choir will also sing "And I Saw Another Angel" by C. V. Stanford who was Howell's composition teacher. Organ music will include "Rhapsody No. 1", "Intrata No. 2" and "Paen" all by Howells.
