A Bernstein Celebration

childrenschoir — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:44:35 +0000

The Chamber Singers of Fairfield County Children’s Choir will perform
with CT Chamber Singers. FCCC will be joining the Mass and ”Make Our Garden Grow,” by Leonard Bernstein. MASS is a musical theatre work composed by Leonard Bernstein with text by Bernstein and additional text and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy, it premiered
on September 8, 1971, conducted by Maurice Peress. The performance was part of the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Originally, Bernstein had intended to compose a traditional Mass, but instead decided on a more innovative form. The work is based on the Tridentine Mass of the Roman Catholic Church.

Although the liturgical passages are sung in Latin, Mass also includes additional texts in English written by Bernstein, Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz, and Paul Simon (who wrote the first quatrain of the trope “Half of the People”).
