Description
This version of Cortege and Litanie by Marcel Dupré was written for Organ. For upper intermediate players, this composition is written with 4 sharps and includes the use of the pedals.
The piece, initially written for a small orchestra in 1922, was created for a play. Dupré integrated it into one of his Piano recitals and was later asked to arrange it for other instruments. These scores therefore exist also arranged for Piano, Orchestra (in 4 and 16) and for the conductor.
In terms of composition, the piece is divided into two: Cortege, which title describes a solemn procession, begins in E major and lasts twice as long as the introductory theme; and Litanie, which is describing the prayer sung during a procession and which follows the Cortege part to then be joined by it.
