Ballet for orchestra 2(I=picc).picc.2.corA.2.bcl.picc cl in D.2.dbn-4,3,2cornet.2.Btrbn. 1-timp.perc(4)-pft(=cel)-2harp-strings(12.10.8.8.6) Copland's earliest ballet score, written in 1925. The supernatural scenario by Harold Clurman depicts the macabre magician Grohg summoning a series of corpses to life. The ballet was never performed in the composer's lifetime and much of the music found its way into such works as the Cortège Macabre and Dance Symphony. The score was recently rediscovered by Oliver Knussen, played in concert, and recorded by Decca Argo. It awaits its first choreography. |
