Imagined Wing is a ballet choreographed by
Martha Graham to
Jeux de Printemps by composer
Darius Milhaud. The piece was first presented on October 30, 1944, in the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Costumes were designed by Edythe Gilfond; the set was created by
Isamu Noguchi.
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned the work, along with two other Graham dances, and musical scores for all three dances. Also on the program were
Mirror Before Me set to music by
Paul Hindemith (later renamed
Herodiade) and
Appalachian Spring performed to music by
Aaron Copland.
Imagined Wing's initial showing was also its last. Following tepid reviews, the piece was never performed again.
