Though it may be tempting to stop at\u00a0<em>West Side Story<\/em>, if you did, you\u2019d be missing out on a wealth of gorgeous music from the man who churned out hundreds of works before his death in 1990. Bernstein\u2019s complete oeuvre is massive, spawning everything from Broadway musicals to jazz singles to symphonies and ballets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XbKhOY\">Here are five seminal works by Bernstein that you shouldn\u2019t miss if you want to understand what made him America\u2019s greatest composer.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"qppabQ\"><em>Candide<\/em><\/h3>\n<p id=\"HFvua2\">Bernstein\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fkXufOQmvyE\">grand comedic opera<\/a>\u00a0often crosses streams with musical theater. After all, it looks and sounds like opera, but it\u2019s an adaptation of Voltaire\u2019s famously dry satire on human nature, which isn\u2019t the typical opera fare. Plus, it\u2019s got lyrical input from plenty of musical theatre veterans, including Stephen Sondheim. And as for the music, its rambunctious opening overture is almost more famous than the opera itself. Here\u2019s Bernstein himself conducting it:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Candide Overture: Leonard Bernstein conducting\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/422-yb8TXj8?start=13&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"FA9lsR\">But if you want evidence that\u00a0<em>Candide<\/em>\u00a0is as pure as opera gets, look no further than its showstopper \u201cGlitter and Be Gay,\u201d a seven-minute diva fantasy that sees sopranos belting out high E-flats against a raucous orchestra and a tongue-in-cheek narrative about the benefits of becoming a concubine. But don\u2019t take our word for it \u2014 let Kristin Chenoweth explain:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Candide In Concert (2005) -  Glitter &amp; Be Gay (HD)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EdC652e9dpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mvDz6x\"><em>On the Town<\/em><\/h3>\n<p id=\"6NlaM2\">Most people know\u00a0<em>On the Town<\/em>\u00a0through the jaunty Gene Kelly\/Fred Astaire movie, which serves as a suitable vehicle for its most famous numbers \u2014 particularly \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x7CIgWZTdgw\">New York, New York<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"YX4q8e\">But if you only watch the movie, you\u2019ll miss much of the beautifully intricate instrumental music that Bernstein deploys throughout\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLaEnMuxCkiA4h6JHoYJqRN2H1xQS4Yg7W\">this intense dance musical<\/a>. Bernstein, whose music at all times sounds as if it were unearthed from the city itself (even down to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/involuntaryorng\/status\/1015402899881512960\">the trains that sing \u201cSomewhere\u201d<\/a>), has rarely sounded more like the city than he does in this story of sailors who come to New York for a 24-hour adventure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Cm7CAj\">The show is dripping with lively musical comedy thanks to legendary lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Bernstein\u2019s frequent Broadway collaborators. But it\u2019s also full of beautiful music, and the purest example is in its stunning, exhilarating, breathtaking \u201cpas de deux.\u201d Building off the themes of the plaintive love ballad \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T7UK916DHT8\">Lonely Town<\/a>,\u201d Bernstein transforms this ballet into a pure, utterly exquisite musical expression all by itself. Here he is conducting it with his home orchestra, the New York Philharmonic. If you listen to nothing else from our humble list, find a quiet place, turn up your speakers, and listen to this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Bernstein, L. - Dance Episodes from &#039;On the Town&#039; - 2.Lonely Town (Pas de Deux)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_GBIxqfiHXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"WBHVBV\">\n<h3 id=\"dAphhQ\"><em>The Chichester Psalms<\/em><\/h3>\n<p id=\"it4NWJ\">Written in 1965 for a festival at Chichester Cathedral, Bernstein\u2019s piece for choir and boy soloist is one of the few works in the classical music canon to be written in Hebrew. Though it\u2019s one of the most famous choral works around, it\u2019s rarely performed because, as you\u2019ll instantly hear, it\u2019s freaking difficult \u2014 which of course just makes it all the more exciting.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"LEONARD BERNSTEIN - Chichester Psalms \/\/ CONDUCT -  L.Bernstein\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Yhnml4DW9g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"X1G5LH\">Bernstein\u2019s\u00a0<em>Mass<\/em><\/h3>\n<p id=\"oHubcb\">If you hadn\u2019t already gathered this from the fact that Bernstein wrote a choral piece for an Anglican church and set it in Hebrew, his views on religion were complicated and contentious. Nowhere is that more evident than in his scandalous, shocking, and beautiful\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLXNC8_wyTr-9oSd-4zfhdzbz9IKyl94lW\"><em>Mass<\/em><\/a>. Featuring lyrics by musical theater icon Stephen Schwartz, fresh off creating\u00a0<em>Godspell<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Mass<\/em>\u00a0is both a savage attack on religious hypocrisy and an attempt to unify religious discord through faith.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bkvtKf\"><em>Mass<\/em>\u00a0is staged as a traditional Catholic Mass, with the main singer occupying the role of a Catholic priest. Yet over the course of the work, doubt creeps into the ritual, both musically and textually, and the structure of the Mass completely falls apart and disintegrates as the celebrant comes to terms with his own crumbling faith and moral emptiness. At the climax, the priest destroys the altar in an act of horrifying sacrilege. And then, in the wake of the destroyed ceremony, Bernstein gives us this pure moment of religious hope and faith to renew us \u2014 \u201cA Simple Song\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"A Simple Song - Leonard Bernstein\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tYf-51HB2_k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3OdNpM\"><em>Wonderful Town<\/em><\/h3>\n<p id=\"UIhztm\">There are many other choices we could have gone with here: Bernstein\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zueKARho6s8\">first symphony<\/a>(<em>Jeremiah<\/em>) or his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jX1exz7eORo\">third symphony<\/a>, (<em>Kaddish<\/em>), which, like\u00a0<em>Chichester Psalms,<\/em>\u00a0both combine classical and Jewish musical traditions; his darkly satirical one-act opera\u00a0<em>Trouble in Tahiti<\/em>, with its famous aria \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ERujbf4Pd3w\">What a movie!<\/a>\u201d; or perhaps even his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gt2zubHcER4\">two-minute explication of Western musical structure<\/a>\u00a0as part of his famous Harvard lecture series \u201cThe Unanswered Question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"X1JdAK\">But we\u2019re going with his early musical\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TZlmWrLIJFc&amp;list=PLIHhzWSsf2Qdb8o4cKbOGCou3zUvF3E7J\"><em>Wonderful Town<\/em><\/a>, again a collaboration with Comden and Green. In many ways a forerunner of\u00a0<em>On the Town<\/em>, this is another dance musical about life in vintage New York, this time told from the perspective of two sisters living in the Village. Though it\u2019s rarely performed and inevitably dated, Bernstein\u2019s score for\u00a0<em>Wonderful Town<\/em>\u00a0is as fresh and vibrant as anything he wrote afterward \u2014 and nowhere do we see that more than in its most endearing and enduring song, \u201cA Little Bit In Love.\u201d Please enjoy Cynthia Erivo bringing this list home \u2014 because it\u2019s Saturday and Leonard Bernstein would want you to have nice things.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Gianandrea Noseda with Cynthia Erivo - Bernstein: Wonderful Town ( A Little Bit in Love)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_jynMHftfWM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2018\/8\/25\/17779096\/leonard-bernsteins-100th-birthday-greatest-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vox.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonard Bernstein gave American music so much more than West Side Story.
