| Giuseppe deLellis directed Roxbury Latin and Beaver Country Day School Glee Club. John Barrett in group at right . I am beginning a listing of music I remember with our close family friend Giuseppe deLellis of West Newton. I may share this when completed with Mrs. DeLellis and her family, who are at 27 Harding Road. My father and I both took piano lesson l947-l951 and l967-l969. Giuseppe delellis perfomrated Rachmaninoff and Mozart piano concertos with Boston Pops and Arthur Fiedler. In music classes at Roxbury Latin, the recordings of the Carnegie Collegion were an amportant resource.I reember Toscanini conducting Schbubert Great C Major, the Franck symphony d minor - arlesienne suite of Bizet, Lt. Kije suite of Prokoffiev, La Mer of Debussy. I have put Year Book 1953 photos of my family memoir sebsite at http://www.ccilink.com/photobook -- these include good photos of giuseppe with the Roxburty Latin and Beaver Glee Clubs. He later taught at Dean Junior College near his original home in Franklin l957-l969. He studied with Nadia Boulanger Paris and at Longy School Cambridge. I heard him perform with violinist Faith Quesada Costa Rican at Waltham library the Franck violin-piano sonata.Puerto Rico pianist Jesus Maria SanRoma and his brother in Newton were particular friends of the deLellis family. My initial emphasis where I request help is in recollecting songs performed by the Roxbury Latin and other Glee Clubs - here are a few (Based on Ecclesisticus or Wisdom of Sirach in Bible Apochrypha is the first: Let us now praise famous men And our father that begot us Such as did bear rule in teir kingdoms Men renowned for their power Leaders of the people by their councils and their knowledge Such as found out musical tunes and recited verses in writing. ASll these were honored in their generations and were the glory of the times. And some there be that have no memoirial Who are buried as though they had never been Their bodies are buried in peace But their Name liveth fore-evermore."
