Hymnus Eucharisticus The Hymnus Eucharisticus is a traditional hymn sung by the choir of boy choristers and lay clerks of Magdalen College, Oxford in England. The choristers are boys from Magdalen College School and the lay clerks are male students from Magdalen College at the University. The hymn is best known for its role in the events of May Morning, a 500-year-old tradition where the choir sings the hymn from Magdalen Tower at 6 a.m. each year on 1 May. This initiates the annual May Morning celebrations in Oxford. Large crowds gather in the High Street and on Magdalen Bridge to listen. The sound is very faint, although more recently amplification has been used. The crowds then disperse for other celebratory activities such as Morris Dancing. The hymn is also sung from the gallery of the college's Great Hall (the dining room) during important college occasions.
