Program Note
This work comprises the beginning of Grohg, Copland's first ballet, which opens with four coffins displayed before the magician in a series of three dances. Copland arranged Cortège as a separate work and submitted it to Howard Hanson in Rochester, who included it on the first program of the American Composers Concerts.
