| - Songfest: A Cycle of American Poems for Six Singers and Orchestra is a 1977 song cycle by Leonard Bernstein. The cycle consists of 12 settings of 13 American poems, performed by six singers in solos, duets, a trio, and three sextets. The work was intended as a tribute to the 1976 American Bicentennial but was not finished in time. Each poem covers America's artistic past including marriage, creativity, love, and minority problems like women's rights, racism, and homosexuality. Its first complete performance was given by the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by the composer on October 11, 1977, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., a year later. The soloists were Clamma Dale (soprano), Rosalind Elias (mezzo-soprano), Neil Rosenshein (tenor), John Reardon (baritone), Donald Gramm (bass). The work was first performed on the West Coast in 1983 at the Hollywood Bowl, the composer conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic. On July 4, 1985, Bernstein conducted a nationally televised performance of Songfest as part of the National Symphony's annual A Capitol Fourth concert. (en)
