Score of the day: Igor Stravinskys Symphony of Psalms, for chorus and orchestra. Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms, a commission commemorating the then 50th year of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is a choral symphony setting of psalm texts. The psalms that each of the three movements feature are very much the core from which the music is derived. In Stravinsky’s words: “…it is not a symphony in which I have included psalms to be sung. On the contrary, it is the singing of the psalm that I am symphonizing.” bit.ly/1sXayA0
