Chichester Psalms

Album by Leonard Bernstein & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & Bournemouth Symphony Chorus & Marin Alsop

Chichester Psalms is a choral composition by American composer Leonard Bernstein, composed in 1965. Setting Hebrew psalms for chorus and orchestra, the piece blends lyrical melodies, shifting metres and jazz-influenced rhythms within a mid-20th-century tonal framework and reflects Bernstein's mid-career fusion of his theatrical and liturgical interests.
First released: September 2003
