Few composers capture their time and become the iconic voice of their age. Writing for small ensembles, symphony orchestras, Broadway, film and opera houses, Leonard Bernstein projected a simple message of understanding and hope employing both complex and simple forms and styles.

While his music finds its spiritual home in his world view, his music speaks with a New York accent, even though he was born in Massachusetts. His love affair with Europe and his sensitivity to his Russian and Jewish roots are never far from his lyrical expressivity, with its fragile sense of optimism, its loneliness, its humor and its demand for acceptance. All of this is wrapped in the rhythmic propulsion of a great American urban landscape. He has left us an aural image of his time and place and, at the same time, an eternal voice of humanity

Robert Page : I Hate Music!

American choral legend, Robert Page, has set this classic Bernstein song cycle for three part treble choir. Leaving each of the five songs in their original keys, and without changing a single, original piano note, this arrangement perfectly captures the natural, unforced sweetness of a child's expression. Duration: ca. 5:30
