The Chichester Psalms, a choral piece, is one of Bernstein’s most overtly Jewish works. More than any composer before him, Bernstein blurred the lines between high art and popular music. The score, commissioned in 1965 by Chichester Cathedral in England, was drawn almost entirely from cut numbers in Broadway shows (including West Side Story). Performed by the 40-strong London LGBT chamber choir, Diversity.
Supported by Making Music, the UK's leading umbrella organisation for voluntary music.
