Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms glows with rhythmic vitality and lyrical beauty—a radiant fusion of Hebrew text, choral brilliance, and orchestral color. At once joyful and reflective, it offers a powerful testament to faith, hope, and the human spirit.

Paired with it is Aaron Copland’s In the Beginning, a bold choral setting of the Genesis creation story. Featuring mezzo-soprano soloist and chorus, Copland’s music captures the wonder of the world’s first breath.
