Mancini was very impressed with the instrument and wrote ['Lujon'] using its scale as the theme."[6] On 7 April 2010, Loughborough died of a heart attack in Madrid, Spain, at the age of 84.[7] ComposersComposers who wrote for lujon include Jerry Goldsmith, Gerald Fried, Dave Grusin, Clare Fischer, and John Williams. Henry Mancini used it in his score for Hatari!, and also featured the instrument in a composition called "Lujon."[8] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Beck |first=John H. |title=Encyclopedia of Percussion |url={{Google books|WNEp7_mGltQC|page=56|plainurl=yes}} |year=2013 |publisher=Routledge |page=56 |isbn=978-1138013070}} 2. ^{{cite journal |title=Jazz and All That |first=Charles A. |last=Robertson |journal=Audio |volume=45 |number=4 |page=62 |date=April 1961}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Music History Being Made at Loughborough's Studio in Marinship |first=Enid |last=Foster |newspaper=Sausalito News |page=6 |date=28 September 1957}} 4. ^{{cite book |first1=Neville H. |last1=Fletcher |first2=Thomas D. |last2=Rossing |title=The Physics of Musical Instruments |url={{Google books|gvDSBwAAQBAJ|page=569|plainurl=yes}} |year=1998 |publisher=Springer Publishing |page=569 |isbn=978-0387983745}} 5. ^{{cite book |first=Joseph |last=Adato |title=Percussionists Dictionary |url={{Google books|N9NCxUnYwfkC|page=23|plainurl=yes}} |year=1985 |publisher=Alfred Music |page=23 |isbn=978-0769234915}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://chris.quietlife.net/2006/04/23/ode-to-lujon/ |title=Ode to Lujon |first=William |last=Loughborough |work=My Quiet Life |date=November 26, 2009 |access-date=October 14, 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402123458/http://chris.quietlife.net/2006/04/23/ode-to-lujon/ |archivedate=April 2, 2015 |dead-url=unfit}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.itodaynews.com/june2010/Loughborough.htm |title=In Memory of Bill Love: One of Our Own |first=Fillmore |last=Love |newspaper=Independence Today |accessdate=22 March 2015}} 8. ^{{cite book|last=Buhler|first=James|title=Music and Cinema|page=257|publisher=Wesleyan University Press |year=2000 |isbn=978-0819564115}} External links
