[…] I have always been interested in Catholicism, in its similarities and differences from Judaism and other religions. Particularly during the reign of Pope John XXIII when it seemed that the Catholic church was undertaking a role in certain movements: for truth, equality, for everything that we dream and work for but can never truly achieve it. […] I regard both the Kaddish and the Mass to be essentially religious statements but not works which should be performed within the framework of particular religions […] What I had to say, I wrote. Everyone should explain it how they want!” Leonard Bernstein Bernstein’s Mass was written in honour and admiration of John Kennedy and was commissioned by his widow. It was premièred on September 8th 1971 to mark the inauguration of the Washington Kennedy Centre.
