Suite in 5 sections:
1. The Portals
2. Chldren`s Gallery
3. The Kings of France
4. The Nativity Paintings
5. Finale
This band version of Scenes from “The Louvre” is taken from the original score of the NBC television special that was first broadcast nationally in November 1964. The composer received the Emmy Award for that season’s most outstanding musical score written for television. Bearing the subtitle “based on Ancient Airs,” the five movements of this suite cover the period of the famous Paris museum’s development during the Renaissance and are based on themes from composers of that period. The Portals begins with a low brass choir and evokes notions of the grandeur of the Louvre. The light, delicate staccato playing of the clarinets conveys the gaiety of children at play in the Children’s Gallery. Visions of state occasions and courtly dances evolve from the brass’ contrapuntal parts in The Kings of France. 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.
