Chancel Choir Presents Bernstein's Chichester Psalms
Posted on Wed Mar 26 2008

Sunday, May 4 (Click on the link above for more info!)

The Chancel Choir will present Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms during morning worship on Sunday, May 4.  The work was commissioned by the Reverend Walter Hussey while he was Dean of Chichester Cathedral for the 1965 Southern Catherdrals Festival.  It received its world premiere in New York on July 15, 1965, and was first performed in England on July 31, 1965, at Chichester.  The work is sung in Hebrew and is in three short movements.  The choir will present the composer's own reduced version which calls for an accompaniment of organ, harp, and percussion.
