Rejoice with Leonard Bernstein’s jubilant Chichester Psalms, a Hebrew-language setting of favorite psalms from the Old Testament. Written for strings, brass, percussion, chorus and soloists, this tuneful work has remained one of Bernstein’s most popular since its 1965 premiere. Of all symphonies, Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 9 is most often declared the greatest ever written. This immortal masterpiece takes listeners on a spiritual journey from the darkness of the opening to the triumph of the famous “Ode to Joy.”
