Songs and stories highlight role of saints in community-building‎

"My Name is Oswald," a new song cycle telling the stories of St Oswald of Northumbria, premiered in a performance in the King's Chapel on 12 February. Based on research by Dr. Johanna Dale, Visiting Fellow in the Department of History, and Professor Sarah Bowden, Professor of German and Medieval Studies in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, the songs trace how Oswald's story spread from England to the German-speaking lands in the Middle Ages.
