{D}
Komponist, Organist, Pianist, Jazz-Fanatiker, halbprofessioneller Baseball-Spieler - all diese Aktivitäten sind bezeichnend für die Persönlichkeit von Norman Dello Joio. Während seines Musikstudiums in New York arbeitete er unter anderem mit Paul Hindemith zusammen, was die Entwicklung seines musikalischen Stils sehr prägte. Sein kompositorisches Schaffen weist eine ungeheure Bandbreite auf. Neben Jazz- und Tanzmusik ist ein grosser Teil seiner Werke von kirchlicher Musik inspiriert, was darauf zurückzuführen ist, daß er oft seinem Vater bei der Ausübung seines Organistenberufes zuhörte.

Norman Dello Joio descended from three generations of organists; he himself was a church organist and choir director at age fourteen. He attended the Juilliard School for three years, then transferred to Yale, where he studied with Paul Hindemith. He held positions at Sarah Lawrence College (NY) and at the Mannes College of Music in New York City, where he was Professor of Composition. In 1972, he moved to Boston, and from 1972 to 1979, was Dean of the School of Arts at Boston University. Dello Joio has composed for virtually every medium, including television. In addition to winning an Emmy in 1965 for the original version of this score and the New York Music Critics Circle Award, he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 for "Meditations on Ecclesiastes".
