As a 1953 graduate I would like to pay tribute to the High School of Music and Art, and to this music which Copland wrote specifically for the school in 1938. The work was premiered by Alexander Richter on 16 December 1938 with the school orchestra and later had its symphony orchestra premiere under Alexander Smallens at an all-American concert in Carnegie Hall on 7 May 1939. Leonard Bernstein later included ‘An Outdoor Overture’ in the debut concert of his New York City Symphony at City Center on 8 October 1945.
E. Scribner Cobb wrote the lyrics to the school song which was sung to Brahms Symphony no 1 (fourth movement, beginning at bar 185).
