Epistle from Bernstein's Mass - Great Song, Relevant Always
Loading...

A wonderful song from Leonard Bernstein's mass. Alan Titus is the tenor. Using the epistles of John and Paul, Stephen Schwartz's lyrics send a comforting message of the strength of religion in the face of power-hungry leaders, hypocrites, and evil.

@Spartakos9 Small correction: Alan Titus is actually a baritone, not a tenor.
Bernstein's MASS is what made Titus a star in the opera world. More recently, John Cashmore played The Celebrant in a European production in 2009.
A complex, beautiful, but sadly neglected work of Bernstein's. Thanks for sharing!

It finally occurred to me to google Alan Titus and YIPPEEDOODLES! hahaha... I was blessed by being the kid of a parent that worked in the Kennedy Center and was often allowed to see many marvelous artists, performances and play in the back wings... Only once in my life did I have something resembling a full blown "crush" and I, who cannot remember names, never forgot Alan Titus (the Celebrant in Mass).... omg, I was 12 if I remember correctly and I was oh so taken and he was oh so beautiful!...

I was in the street chorus, singing parts of God Said and also "I believe in God, but does God believe in me. Something I said to Bernstein a few years before was the inspiration for I believe in God. Lenny was a great friend an mentor to me. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him, truly a man sent from God.

@Snowydog123 Hi Snowydog.
I was in the Boys Choir at the Kennedy Center as a member of the Berkshire Boys Choir. That was a period of my life that I will always cherish. What abaout you?

Indeed, Alan Titus is a Baritone. And I might add, one hell of a nice man. He was really kind to me when I was in High School. I'll always thank him for it.

Alan Titus was very good as a light baritone when he was young, nowadays he's singing heavy parts like Wotan in Bayreuth (evolutiontheory)

If you know how to get hold of a copy of that Yale production, please share it! That production was staged in Germany with Yale's personnel and later aired on PBS. (Robert Picardo of Star Trek fame was the celebrant!) The Yale performance was FANTASTIC!
