Southern Voices - Chichester Psalms Sat 16/03/13 7:30 pm A programme of music for choir, harp, organ and percussion conducted by Katherine Dienes-Williams Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, commissioned for the 1965 Southern Cathedrals Festival, is a three movement work for chorus and boy treble soloist. Sung in Hebrew, it will be performed from Bernstein's reduced version for organ, harp and percussion. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Bernstein's British contemporary, Benjamin Britten, will be marked by a performance of his Choral Dances from the opera Gloriana. Ladies' voices will sing Gustav Holst's choral hymns from the the Rig Veda (Hindu scriptures), composed around the time of Britten's birth, and Czech composer Janacek will feature with his scoring of the Lord's Prayer for voices, organ and harp. The 21st century will be represented by London-born Tarik O'Regan's Dorchester Canticles, written in 2004.
