Extractions: Frederick Delius (1862-1934) Fritz Theodor Albert Delius was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, on January 29, 1862. His father Julius was a wool merchant, and although he never considered music a proper livelihood, he encouraged its performance in the home. Young Fritz played piano and violin quite well. But off he went to college, after which he worked in his father's wool business for over three years as a travelling representative, visiting Sweden, Germany and France. His travelling around, and his frequent straying to romantic places like Norway and the French Riviera, resulted in a cosmopolitanism (and even an occasional anti-England bias) that was to stay with Delius for the rest of his life. Delius' interest in music continued to consume his thoughts, to the neglect of his wool-biz representative duties. His frustrated father allowed Fritz to move to Florida, USA, to manage his orange plantation (Solano Grove, south of Jacksonville). The young romantic Delius was to absorb the unique natural beauty along the St. Johns River, as well as the rich harmonic vocal improvisations of the local black slaves. He obtained a piano, met local music teacher Thomas Ward, and immersed himself in music, again to the neglect of his father's business. Delius was to later write: "In Florida, through sitting and gazing at Nature, I gradually learnt the way in which I should eventually find myself....(and) hearing (the Afro-Americans') singing in such romantic surroundings, it was then and there that I first felt the urge to express myself in music."

Extractions: Name Nationality Lived Delius, Frederick English Delius, an Englishman who settled in France, was one of these names that kept popping up in the books I was reading about Debussy. Oddly enough, the first piece of his I listened to remains my favourite, the Songs of Farewell for chorus and orchestra. This is a truly beautiful and uplifting setting of five poems by Walt Whitman, a man whose poetry has inspired several of my favourite works. There is sadness but also optimism in both music and poems. In a Summer Garden , where a sort of Walt Disney animation music meets Impressionism. You will find excerpts from full-blown operas like the utterly sublime Walk to the Paradise Garden La Calinda , the supremely sweet Intermezzo from Fennimore and Gerda , the timeless Intermezzo and Serenade from Hassan and the Irmelin Prelude . And they will surely contain the pair of pieces Summer Night on the River and its popular sister On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring This last piece is really relaxing, and features in a superb radio play by Carole Rosen, which was broadcast in about 1984, called The Brass Cuckoo A Song of Summer is also the title of another fine, short, Nature-inspired work which begins tranquilly but grows more animated, a property it shares with the folk-song based

http://www.hnh.com/composer/delius.htm

Extractions: Born in 1862 in Bradford of German parentage, Delius was sent by his father to Florida as an orange-grower. There he developed further his earlier musical interests and eventually persuaded his father to support him during a period of musical study at Leipzig Conservatory, where he met Grieg. With continued paternal support he moved thereafter to Paris and in 1897 settled at Grez-sur-Loing with the painter Jelka Rosen, who later became his wife. His final years brought blindness and paralysis, the result of an early syphilitic infection, and his later music was dictated to the young English musician Eric Fenby, who became his amanuensis. Delius had a strong champion in the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham, who did much to bring his music before the British public. The musical language of Delius with a characteristic harmony and lyricism of its own often has a rhapsodic intensity of feeling. Stage Works The stage works of Delius include the lyric drama Koanga, a love- story set on a Mississippi plantation, where the heroine, the slave-girl Palmyra, rejects the advances of the overseer in favour of a prince of her own tribe, Koanga. La Calinda, from this opera, is a well known orchestral excerpt. The opera A Village Romeo and Juliet, based on a novel by Gottfried Keller, is generally known to concert-audiences because of the familiar orchestral interlude The Walk to the Paradise Garden, as the lovers walk together to a village inn. From the later opera Fennimore and Gerda comes an orchestral Intermezzo, arranged after the death of the composer by Eric Fenby. The opera Irmelin, first performed under Beecham only in 1953, offers an orchestral Prelude for concert repertoire. Incidental music for James Elroy Flecker's Hassan has again provided items for concert repertoire.

Extractions: Compositor británico. Nació en Bradford, Yorkshire, de padres alemanes. Éstos quisieron hacer de él un hombre del comercio, pero Delius, que tenía otro proyecto, marchó a los Estados Unidos después de viajar por Noruega y Suecia para mejorar sus conocimientos musicales, y entre 1884 y 1886 se dedicó al cultivo de naranjas en Florida, mientras estudiaba música con el organista Thomas F. Ward en Jacksonville. Cuando volvió a Europa, estudió en el Conservatorio de Leipzig. Allí, en 1889, se presentó como compositor con su suite Florida. En 1888, el compositor noruego Edvard Grieg había persuadido al padre de Delius para que aceptara la carrera musical de su hijo. Dos años más tarde, Frederick se instaló en París. Consiguió su primer éxito como compositor en Alemania. Más tarde, gracias a los esfuerzos del director de orquesta británico Thomas Beecham, su música se dio a conocer en Gran Bretaña y en los Estados Unidos. En 1929 Beecham organizó un gran festival Delius en Londres. En 1926 enfermó de parálisis y ceguera, por lo que tuvo que dictar las notas de sus composiciones a su joven discípulo, Eric Fenby, que se ocupó de escribirlas sobre el papel. La música de Delius se caracteriza por su atmósfera poética y la sutil evocación de distintos estados de ánimo, así como por su lirismo y cualidades armónicas, más que por las estructuras contrapuntísticas o las rítmicas. Se le caracteriza como un romántico dentro del impresionismo. Entre sus obras destacan las óperas A Village Romeo and Juliet (1900-1901), Koanga (1904) y Fennimore and Gerda (1910), las composiciones orquestales Brigg Fair (1907) y On Hearing the First Cockoo in Spring (1912), el concierto para violín (1916), música de cámara y canciones. También escribió una Misa de la vida y un Requiem, ambos sobre texto de Friedrich Nietzsche. Murió en Grez sur-Loing, Francia. ©

Extractions: Frederick Delius wrote music that is ephemeral, elusive, and sensuous, and although he is sometimes called an "English Impressionist," his is music which reflects the composer's emotional reactions. Delius owed most of his popularity to Sir Thomas Beecham, the British conductor who became his champion, and who insisted on performing Delius' music in concerts and recordings. His primary musical influences were Grieg and Wagner MIDI FILE - Mountain silence Frederick Delius was born in Bradford, England in 1862, to German parents. Julius Delius, a successful wool merchant who had moved from Bielfeld to Bradford with his wife Elise, named his fourth child (of fourteen) Fritz Theodore Albert. Julius sent his son to business school to prepare to join the family wool business while also providing violin lessons. Fritz showed a marked preference for music but he and a friend persuaded the elder Delius to give them financial backing for a Florida orange grove. The two young men settled at Solano Grove near Jacksonville, where Delius met organist Thomas F. Ward with whom he studied music while absorbing the songs of the local black population.

http://www.delius.org.uk/g_biography.htm

Extractions: Buried in England 1935 Fritz Theodor Albert Delius was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, on 29 January 1862 to parents who had come to England from Bielefeld, Germany. Julius, his father, was a prosperous businessman in one of Yorkshire's great Victorian industries, wool. The home was a musically cultured one, and, as a boy, Fritz learned to play both violin and piano proficiently before he reached his teens. After attending Bradford Grammar School (1874-8), he spent two years studying at the International College near London, and then some apprentice years in his father's business. These were characterised by a growing frustration with business life, and in March 1884, Fritz persuaded his father to let him try his hand at cultivating oranges in Florida, USA. His plantation, Solano Grove, was some hours upstream from Jacksonville on the banks of the St. John's River. Once there, he quickly secured a piano and found a local source for theory lessons, a Jacksonville organist named Thomas Ward an important early influence. He also absorbed the sounds of the singing of negro workers, which were to be documented in his

Extractions: by Michael R. Ridderbusch Finally! I arrive in Danville, Virginia late Saturday, the last day of summer. The weather is perfect: sunny, slightly breezy, with a hint of autumn in the air. (The Blue Ridge Mountains and Lovers' Leap on Route 58 East were an auspicious first entrance to southern Virginia.) So what brought me all the way from Morgantown, West Virginia to Danville? As a northwesterner transplanted by a job move, why did I come all this distance to a region of the county so different from my background and experience? I'm tracking the path of that great, but lesser known "British" composer Frederick Delius (1862-1934), who spent nine months in Danville (Sept. 1885 - June 1886) teaching music to earn fare to Europe, where he pursued a career as a composer. (Earlier, he had made an unsuccessful attempt to grow oranges in Florida from March 1884 to Sept. 1885, an enterprise designed to assuage the fears, yet escape the scrutiny of his father in England, who wished to hem in the wayward, artistically inclined lad: a classic biographical episode in the lives of artists.) Delius and his music now have an international reputation and have become a minor classic. One can't go into almost any record store with a classical music section of moderate size and not find Delius CD's. He's quite well represented by recordings, several versions existing of his most important works. And it's my love of that music and my desire to see some of its origins that inspired me to come here.

Jacksonville University is a private, independent, coeducational, institution, offering a wide range of baccalaureate degrees and selected masters degrees with approximately 2,000 students. The University traces its history to William J. Porter University which opened its doors in 1934 as a two-year community college in downtown Jacksonville. Within a year, the institution was renamed Jacksonville Junior College to identify more accurately with the city. In 1944, the college moved into the Kay Mansion in the fashionable Riverside area of Jacksonville. By 1950, the college relocated to its present site on the St. Johns River on a beautifully landscaped 260-acre campus. In 1956, Jacksonville Junior College became Jacksonville University and shortly thereafter merged with The Jacksonville College of Music. The library was built in the early 1950s with two later additions and named for the head of Swisher International of Jacksonville, maker of King Edward and Swisher cigars. The library contains approximately 500,000 cataloged items in various formats. On campus is the restored home of Frederick Delius, which once stood on the banks of the St. Johns River south of Jacksonville at Solano Grove. The university has participated for thirty-four years with the Delius Association of Florida and other organizations in an annual festival of Delius music, along with a composition competition for young composers. The Swisher Library maintains a separate collection of Delius materials related to the composer and the annual festivals.

http://www.artsworld.com/music-dance/biographies/d-f/frederick-delius.html

Extractions: If there can be a description of Delius's music, it is best put in his own words, as music that always flows. Few of his compositions end with a flourish: instead, they tend to fade away so that the listener is sometimes uncertain whether or not they have finished. Delius's pieces are in pastel shades of sound, not richly coloured like those of his contemporary Richard Strauss. Many of his memorable melodies probably originate in the plantations of Florida where he spent some of his youth. Frederick Delius was born into a Prussian family that had moved to Bradford, Yorkshire, with the wool-trade during the 1850s. His father was determined to place his son in business, but Frederick was equally determined to carve out a musical career for himself. His exasperated father packed him off to grow fruit in Florida, USA, supposedly well out of the way of music. However, Frederick found an excellent teacher in a music shop in Jacksonville, who gave him a crash course in composition, and he began to progress rapidly.
