The Chichester Psalms is a choral work based on texts from the Biblical book of Psalms in original Hebrew. Composed by Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), the composer behind the famous West Side Story and other dramatic works, this piece is not without his signature theatrical flair. It begins with a call:
Awake, psaltery and harp:
I will rouse the dawn!
In response, an infectiously joyous song emerges from the bass section and spreads to an ecstatic tutti. (Wong Yong En)
