bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>Norman Dello Joio was born on January 24, 1913 in New York, where his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather were church organists. Dello Joio acquired skill as an organist and pianist at home from his father, Casimiro Dello Joio, from 1918 to 1930. He took additional organ lessons from his well-known godfather, Pietro Alessandro Yon (musical director and organist at St. Patrick’s Cathedral) during the years 1931 to 1933; and studied piano with Gaston Déthier at the Institute of Musical Art (1933 - 1938). From 1939 to 1941 he studied composition with Bernard Wagenaar at the Juilliard School of Music (1939-1941). In 1941 he enrolled in the summer class of composition led by Hindemith at the Berkshire Music Center in Tanglewood; and then continued to attend Hindemith’s courses at Yale University from 1941-1943.</p> <p>From the beginning of his career he received a number of grants and awards, and his works had regular performances. He won an Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Award for his Piano <span class=\"title\">Trio</span> (1937), a Town Hall Composition Award for the orchestral work <span class=\"title\">Magnificat</span> (1942), and Guggenheim Fellowships (1943 and 1944). In 1945 he received a grant from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His <span class=\"title\">Variations, Chaconne and Finale</span>, first performed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Bruno Walter, won the New York Music Critics’ Circle Award for the best new orchestral piece (1948); he won a second Critics’ Circle Award (1962) for the opera <span class=\"title\">The Triumph of St. Joan</span>. The Pulitzer Prize for music was awarded to him in 1957 for <span class=\"title\">Meditations on Ecclesiastes</span> for string orchestra. On February 16, 1958, he was the subject of a CBS television documentary titled <span class=\"title\">Profile of a Composer</span>. In 1961 he was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. In 1965, his music for the NBC program <span class=\"title\">The Louvre</span> won the Emmy award for outstanding television score.</p> <p>As music director for the Dance Players Company (1940 - 1943), Norman Dello Joio began to extend his influence into the world of dance. Some of his most considerable works for dance include <span class=\"title\">On Stage!</span> (1945), choreographed by Michael Kidd for Ballet Theatre, two works for Martha Graham, <span class=\"title\">Diversion of Angels</span> (1948) and <span class=\"title\">Seraphic Dialogue</span> (1955), and <span class=\"title\">There is a Time</span> (1956; a composition based on the Pulitzer Prize winning <span class=\"title\">Meditation On Ecclesiastes</span> for José Limón).</p> <p>Dello Joio taught composition and choir at Sarah Lawrence College (1945 - 1950), composition at the Mannes College of Music (1960 - 1972), and was Professor of Music and Dean of the Fine and Applied Arts School of Boston University (1972 - 1977). From 1959 until 1973, he directed the Ford Foundation’s Contemporary Music Project, which placed young composers in high schools. The purpose of the project was to make contemporary music a part of children's lives by placing composers and performers in the learning atmosphere. The project placed about ninety composers, many who successfully continued their careers.</p> <p>In 2004, at the age of 91, Dello Joio continues his endeavors for the music community.</p> <p>Sources:</p> <ul> <li>“Clippings and pamphlet” —Box 6, Folder 8 (biographical articles / items)</li> <li> “Dello Joio, Norman.” Retrieved from http://www.grovemusic.com on July 14, 2004.</li> <li> “Dello Joio Biography.” Retrieved from http://fp.enter.net/~debrat42/biography.htm on July 14, 2004.</li> <li> “Resume—handwritten”—Box 8, Folder 30</li> <li> Slonimsky, Nicolas. <span class=\"title\">Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians</span>. 7th ed.

{"value"=>"<p>The papers of Norman Dello Joio (1898-2003) document his professional life from the early 1920s until 2003. The few items found within this collection that precede the dates of his life are all connected to his professional career. For example, Dello Joio most likely acquired the published music <span class=\"title\">La Passione di Cristo Secondo S Marco</span> (Box 45, Folder 14) for his further study of oratorios.</p> <p>A good amount of manuscripts that reveal the evolution of several of Dello Joio’s most notable scores are within the collection. For example, Dello Joio’s creative path to <span class=\"title\">The Triumph of St. Joan</span>, can be found within this collection under the various names it held through revision—i.e. <span class=\"title\">Triumph of Joan</span>, <span class=\"title\">Trial at Rouen</span> and, finally, <span class=\"title\">Triumph of St. Joan</span>. Furthermore, there is an extensive amount of compositional work in this collection on his 1961 opera <span class=\"title\">Blood Moon</span>. His scores, manuscripts and reproductions, make up the bulk of the collection. However, there is limited material on his award winning compositions <span class=\"title\">Meditations on Ecclesiastes</span> (José Limón’s <span class=\"title\">There is a Time</span>) and <span class=\"title\">The Louvre</span>.</p> <p>Norman Dello Joio’s papers contain few personal items; one of the few exceptions would be the correspondence he received from family members (Box 1, Folder 23-24).</p>"}
