Oxford choir in Harry Potter movie

The Choir of Queen’s College recorded a song for the soundtrack of ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’.

The choir was approached by Nicholas Hopper, the BAFTA-winning composer, in late 2007 regarding a possibility of singing a piece for the film.

The Choir recorded ‘In noctem’ in Studio One at Abbey Road Studios in London, the world’s largest purpose-built recording studio.

Georgina Watts, a second year choral scholar commented, “Recording at Abbey Road is just one of the amazing opportunities that I have been offered as a member of the Queen’s College Chapel Choir.”

The song can be heard at various points in the film, during the closing credits, and on the soundtrack CD of the film.
