About "Ibert: Divertissement for Small Orchestra: II. Cortège. Moderato molto" by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra

Cortège: a Moderato molto procession that struts with mock solemnity, woodwinds piping a tune both dignified and absurd. The tension is between ceremony and satire—a parade that knows it's a parody, yet marches on with such conviction that the joke becomes strangely moving.
