His contributions to the wind band repertoire are significant, and include Scenes from The Louvre , the Variants on a Mediaeval Tune , a set of Satiric Dances , and several other beloved works. Dello Joio died in at age 95 having never retired from composition. The documentary tells the history of the Louvre and its world-class collection of art, which is in many ways inseparable from the history of France.
Dello Joio chose to use the music of Renaissance-era composers in his soundtrack in order to match the historical depth of the film. He collected the highlights of this Emmy-winning score into a five-movement suite for band in , on a commission from Baldwin-Wallace College. Now take a look at part of the TV documentary. It is truly a fascinating history and a very well-done film that you all should watch. While the whole thing was once on YouTube, now only part 4 remains. The entire film is also available as a DVD on Netflix.
Now for some source material! But this one captures his spirit quite well:. More on Scenes from the Louvre from Alex Armstead, to whom this page owes a great debt: I never would have identified the source composers of each movement without his information. The Finale uses the Cestiliche Sonata of Vincenzo Albrici as its source material, to which Dello Joio adds his own harmonic flavor, particularly in the final passages of the piece.
The five movements of this suite pay tribute to the development of the museum and feature thematic material from the Renaissance time period.
The Portals begins with a low brass choir and evokes notions of the grandeur of the Louvre. The religious theme In Dulci Jubilo appears in Nativity Paintings and features the solo clarinet and oboe. The Finale is introduced by a royal fanfare and bears the pomp and elegance of the era as the ensemble brings the work to a noble conclusion. From Wind Repertory Project.
