Scenes from The Louvre is derived from the original score of an NBC television special about the museum that aired in 1964. It covers the period of the museum's development during the Renaissance, with each movement based on themes of Renaissance composers. --James Huff 23:19, March 28, 2007 (EDT) (from the program notes of The Claremont Winds, submitted with permission)
