Dello Joio's The Triumph of Saint Joan (a symphony in three movements) originally started out as an opera in 1950, but the composer withdrew it. He turned it into a compact, coherent three-movement symphony that is stunning in its composure and lucidity of argument. It is quite beautiful. His Variations, Chaconne and Finale (1949) is based on a Gregorian theme derived from the Kyrie of the Mass of Angels but characterized as symphonic dances (its original title was Three Symphonic Dances). The Barber that follows--the famous Adagio for Strings--though done well seems to be tacked on as a marketing gesture. --Paul Cook
