*L (Special) 96-03, The St. Cecilia Chorus Collection of Sound Recordings, 1967-, Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
The St. Cecilia Chorus is one of the finest performing choirs in New York City. The Chorus was founded in 1906 as a women's chorus by Metropolitan Opera coach Victor Harris, who served as its conductor until 1936. In 1922 The St. Cecilia Chorus participated in the first New York performances of Mahler's Third Symphony, with the Philharmonic Society of New York under Willem Mengelberg. These performances were held in the old Metropolitan Opera House and repeated in Carnegie Hall. Leon Barzin directed the chorus through the 1936-1937 season, after which Willard Sektberg took over until 1942. Hugh Ross became conductor in 1942, to be suceeded in the late 1950s by David L. Buttolph. In 1964, The St. Cecilia Chorus became a chorus of mixed voices. Then, in 1965, David Randolph became music director, and in 1969 the Chorus had its first concert in Carnegie Hall.
In addition to its now traditional twice-yearly Carnegie Hall concerts, some of which were broadcast live on WNYC Radio, the Chorus has appeared in other venues, including Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, The Riverside Church, St. Bartholomew's Church, St. George's Church, and The Church of the Heavenly Rest.
The collection contains live recordings of performances of The St. Cecilia Chorus. The earliest recording in the collection is from 1967, and the latest (as of completion of this finding aid, in 2006) is from 2005. Most of the performances took place in Carnegie Hall, with a few in The Church of the Heavenly Rest and St. Bartholomew's Church. All performances are conducted by David Randolph, the chorus's music director. The collection also contains two oral histories of the Chorus with David Randolph; an interview with the playwright, Peter Shaffer; as well as recordings relating to Randolph's career both with the St. Cecilia Chorus and prior endeavors.
Papers and documents of the Chorus as well as some house programs are on file in the Music Division.
