Musical tempo siblings: Allegro, Largo, Lento

Actress Largo Woodruff, who appeared in several films in the 1980s, was born in New Jersey in 1955.

She was the second of three children. Her older sister was named Allegro, and her younger brother was named Lento.

All three siblings were named after musical tempos by their father Wallace Woodruff, a professional musician and music teacher. The three names/tempos are Italian words that indicate the speed at which a particular piece of music should be played:

  • Allegro means “cheerful” (i.e., play briskly)
  • Largo means “broad” (i.e., play slowly)
  • Lento means “slow”

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was also named with music in mind. Her name is based on the musical term con dolcezza, meaning “with sweetness” in Italian.
