The initiative behind this venture has been taken by The Delius Trust, Londongin whose archives the bulk of the composer's surviving manuscripts and letters is preserved. With the publication of the Collected Edition (some thirty volumes are planned) a large. number of Delius compositions will become widely available for the first time; forowhile all his music dating from 1899 and later (his period of creative maturity) have been in print, many of the works of his years of development (1885-1900) have generally been ignored by Delius scholars. Until relatively recently it had been assumed by writers on Delius that the music of this early period did not merit serious consideration. A few important performances of key works in the composer's development have shown that this attitude is fairly wide of the mark. It is true that the mature Delius style emerged only around the turn of the cen- tury: earlier, his music is marred by structural weaknesses and harmonic derivativeness. But the premibres in the past few years of his second opera The Magic Fountain (largely due to Robert Threlfallsmusical adviser to The Delius Trust) and of the melodrama Paa Vidderne and parts of the tone poem Hiawatha (instigated by the present writer) revealed that, despite their defects, some of the composer's early works lacked nothing in inspiration and imagination. Indeedpthere was a large amount of music which was worthy of performance dim on its own merits - not merely as a curiosity shedding light on Delius's mature style. In this study0a close examination of all of the music of Delius's first fifteen years of creative work is undertaken for the first time. The author's aim has been to assess the intrinsic qualities of Delius's compositions in this period, while tracing through the works the stages by which the mature style emerged. The findings of this research add to the existing body of literature on the development of Delius's style in three principal ways: V (1). It is shown thatpeven in his earliest works, the composer drew upon personal experiences which had made strong impressions on him as the primary source of his inspiration. Surprisingly, Negro folk music, heard in Florida, played a very significant role in his development. His impressions of mountain nature and sunsets are also import- ant. Idiomatic features of his music arising from his associations with these experiences; which are present throughout his output. were evident from his earliest comp- ositions. (2). The influence of other composers is assessed. Although it is known that Chopin, Wagner and Grieg contributed to Deliusts technique and style (he freely acknowledged his debt to them); the extent and importance of this influence in releasing and guiding his musical imagination is examined here for the first time. The less well known influence of Richard Strauss is also considered significant. (3). A large proportion of Delius's music in the 1890s was connected with the twin concepts of longing and innocence. It is with his merging of the two concepts into one around the turn of the century that the period of his finest work commences. The highly individual, idiosyncratic language in which Delius wrote his mature music is made much easier to under- stand by an appreciation of his years of development. A list of the unpublished works of the composer is given after this preface. All of the scores are contained in the archive of The Delius Trust. When these works are described in the textpor extracts quoted, the following information is provided: (i) the volume number of the Delius Trust archive which contains the work (Delius Trust is abbreviated to DT) (ii) the folio number of the extract. The archivist has numbered each pagepwith the recto being termed 'a' and the verso Ibl. vi The details of unpublished scores are as given in Rachel Lowe: Frederick Delius 1862-1934: A Catalogue of the Music Archive of the Delius Trust, London (London, 1974)- In the text this is abbreviated to RL. Two further abbrev- iations are utilized; RT Robert Threlfall: A Catalogue of the Compositions of Frederick Delius. Sources and References (Londont 1977) CLL/l Lionel Carley: Delius: A Life in Letters (Vol-1) (London. 1983). A second and final volume is under preparation. In accordance with Lionel Carley's practice, no attempt has been made to correct eccentricities of spelling and punct- uation in Deliusts letters. Where translations of song texts are quoted, the trans- lator is identified only when the given version of the poem is unpublished. Grateful acknowledgement of assistance with this thesis is extended to Professor Edward Garden (Head of Music Depart- mentyUniversity of Sheffield)pwho has supervised its prepar- ationpand provided necessary encouragement; to Lionel Carley (archivist to The Delius Trust)pwhose willingness to exchange ideas, and to provide access to materials, was of inestimable value; to the Delius Trustees)for permission to quote extens- ively from the music and correspondence in the Trust's archives; to Mr. and Mrs. A. Boylefwhose unfailing support was the best possible assistance; and to Lindis Hallanyfor the generous way in which she put her linguistic skills at the disposal of the author. vii List of Unpublished Works EA complete list of all Delius's compositions in the years 1880-1890 is given in Appendix III 1885 Over the mountains highpsong Zwei brgune Augen, song Zum Carnival Polka, piano solo (date? ) Loreleilpart-song (date? ) 1886 Der Fichtenbaum, song Ohl Sonnenschein. part-song (date? ) Durch den Wald, part-song (date? ) 1887 Sonnenscheinliedypart-song (date? ) FrUhlingsanbruch, part-song (date? ) Ave Maria, part-song 1888 Hiawathaptone poem Paa Vidderne)melodrama Hochgebirgslebenpsong Zanonioincidental music Suite for violin and orchestra Rhapsodische Variationen String Quartet 1889 Sakuntala, for tenor and orchestra Romance for violin and piano 1890 Petite Suite dtOrchestre L6gendes (Sagen)pfor piano and orchestra Four Heine Songs 1.

The wedding dance La Calinda was originally a dance of some violence, leading to painters that were his contemporaries. hysteria and therefore banned. In the Florida Suite and again in Koanga it lacks anything of its original character. The opera Irmelin, written between 1890 and 1892, and the first attempt by Delius at the form, had no staged Koanga, a lyric drama in a prologue and three acts, was first heard in an incomplete concert performance at St performance until 1953, when Beecham arranged its production in Oxford. The libretto, by Delius himself, deals with James’s Hall in 1899. It was first staged at Elberfeld in 1904. With a libretto by Delius and Charles F. Keary, the plot The Best of two elements, Princess Irmelin and her suitors, none of whom please her, and the swine-herd who eventually wins is set on an eighteenth century Louisiana plantation, where the slave-girl Palmyra is the object of the attentions of her heart. The Prelude, designed as an entr’acte for the later opera Koanga, makes use of four themes from Irmelin.

  • Wexford Festival Opera's Koanga
    WEXFORD FESTIVAL OPERA’S KOANGA Members will be aware that Wexford Festival Opera staged Delius’s opera Koanga in October 2015. This special feature brings together an introductory piece on Wexford itself by Martin Lee-Browne, Michael Gieleta’s insightful Director’s Notes on the production, a review of the first night by Roger Buckley, and a report on the fascinating talk to members back in November given by conductor Stephen Barlow and Michael Gieleta. WEXFORD – A TOWN COMES TO LIFE In a sheltered position at the very south-easternmost tip of Ireland, Wexford has a double existence. Originally founded in about 800AD by the Vikings, many centuries later it became a centre for revolt against British rule – and nowadays, for about 49 weeks of the year, it is just a traditional Irish country town that has, sadly, seen much better days. Once a successful seaport, shifting sand in the harbour caused it to decline, and large commercial ships stopped using it in the 1960s; nevertheless, it still has a fishing fleet – evidenced by the fact that there are a large number of fish restaurants in the town and the surrounding area, many of which are quite superb. Like most of its counterparts across the country, the town has a stolid, grey feel to it, and architectural gems are in short supply. There is a reasonable number of small businesses, but no major employers: the unemployment rate is around 25%. Wexford County has one of the highest suicide rates in the country, and is apparently ‘the burglary centre of Ireland’; there seems to be little farming in the surrounding countryside, and generally there is much near-poverty.
