  • Norman Dello Joio was an American composer. He was born Nicodemo DeGioio in New York City to Italian immigrants; the spelling "Gioio" was later anglicized to "Joio". He began his musical career as organist and choir director at the Star of the Sea Church on City Island in New York at age 14. His father was an organist, pianist, and vocal coach and coached many opera stars from the Metropolitan Opera. He taught Norman piano starting at the age of four. In his teens, Norman began studying organ with his godfather, Pietro Yon, who was the organist at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. In 1939, he received a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music, where he studied composition with Bernard Wagenaar. He was the father of American Olympic medalist (equestrian), Norman Dello Joio. While he was a student, he worked as organist at St. Anne's Church, but he soon decided that he didn't want to make his living as an organist. In 1941, he began studying with Paul Hindemith, who encouraged him to follow his own lyrical bent, rather than sacrificing it to the atonal systems then popular. By the late forties, he was considered one of the foremost American composers. He received numerous awards and much recognition. He was a prolific composer in a variety of genres, but is perhaps best known for his choral music. Perhaps Dello Joio's most famous work in the wind ensemble category is his Fantasies on a Theme by Haydn, composed for the Michigan State University Wind Ensemble and has since been performed thousands of times across the world. Dello Joio also wrote several pieces for high school and professional string orchestra, including the beautiful if difficult Choreography: Three Dances for String Orchestra. He won the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his Meditations on Ecclesiastes; first performed at the Juilliard School on April 20, 1956. His Variations, Chaconne and Finale won the New York Critics Circle Award in 1948. In 1965, Dello Joio received the Emmy Award for the "most outstanding music written for television in the 1964-1965 Season" for his score to the 1964 NBC television special, "The Louvre. " The composer created a five movement suite for wind band entitled 'Scenes from "The Louvre. "' The suite was commissioned by Baldwin-Wallace College for their symphonic band, and was premiered in on March 13, 1966 with the composer conducting. He taught at Sarah Lawrence College from 1944 to 1950, and at the Mannes College of Music. He also served as professor and dean at Boston University's College of Fine Arts. In 1978, he retired and moved to Long Island. He donated his personal archive of manuscripts and papers to the Music Division of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Despite infirmities, Dello Joio remained active as a composer until his final years, continuing to produce chamber, choral, and even orchestral music. He died in his sleep on July 24 2008 at his home in East Hampton, New York.

  • Norman Dello Joio compositor nord-americà d’ascendència italiana. Aprengué orgue i composició amb el seu pare, seguint els estudis d’orgue amb Pietro Yon i composició a l’Institute of Musical Art, on va tenir per a mestre Gaston Dethier. Va ser mestre de capella en algunes esglésies i director musical d’una companyia de ballet. assolí el premi Pulitzer el 1957 i dues beques Guggenheim. Fou professor de composició en el Sarah Lawrence College de Bronxville. Com William Schumann, Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland i altres americans de la mateixa generació, era refractari a la postura avantguardista. Segons ell, la desorientació, la crisi, que significava realment el fet que cada compositor davant de cada nova obra tingués de plantejar-se forçosament nous problemes que obligant a la sensibilitat de l’auditor a afirmar-se i negar-se contínuament i en veure's obligat la immensa majoria de compositors a efectuar difícils equilibris dialèctics mancats de sinceritat, amb el fi de demostrar que només fins a cert punt segueixen fidels a la més acreditada tradició, demostren què, ja és hora de deixar de costat l’experimentació sistemàtica i expressar-se amb un llenguatge més humà. És evident la seva voluntat d’humanitzar l’art i que donada la seva postura estètica, no pot servir-se d’enganys, sinó únicament de qualitat. En llur obra si nota l’influencia del jazz, com per exemple, en Copland, i es distingeix de la d’altres autors nord-americans per la seva major cordialitat, que és la que precisament li permetia adaptar-se millor al tema religiós. Citarem, de la seva abundant producció:
