No, the unique and colorful history of St. Patricks Cathedral.Since its inception more than 125 years ago, the Cathedral Choir has been considered the gold standard of liturgical musican example of artistic excellence that has garnered worldwide renown. Yet behind this stately facade lies an intriguing mix of New York history, star secrets, and highlevel office politics that has made the choir not only a source of prime musical entertainment but also fodder for tabloids and periodicals across the nation. In this unique and engaging book, readers are treated to a treasure trove of vibrant characters, from opera stars from around the world to the thousands of volunteer singers who brought their own hopes and dreamsand widely varying musical abilitiesto the fabled choir.As the citys preeminent Catholic institution, St. Patricks Cathedral has served one of the most dynamic and diverse communities in the world for well over a century. It has been intimately entwined with the history of New York: a major center of culture in the nations cultural capital. The Cathedral Choir provides an extraordinary and largely overlooked insight into this history, and in Salvatore Basiles pitchperfectexploration it becomes a microcosm for the larger trends, upheavals, and events that have made up the history of the city, the nation, and even the world.Basile also illuminates the choirs important role in New Yorkers responses to some of the most momentous events of the past one hundred years, from world wars to worlds fairs, from the sinking of the Titanic to 9/11, as well as its central role in the rituals and celebrations that have made life in the city more joyfuland bearablefor millions of people over the decades.While the phrase church choir usually evokes the image of a dowdy group of amateurs, the phrase Choir of St. Patricks Cathedral has always meant something quite different. Salvatore Basiles splendid history shows just how different, and just how spectacular, the music of St. Patricks is.
