After the slight scarcity of contributions for the Autumn 2015 issue, it is wonderful to have so many this time – and without my having to twist any arms! You will see that, in the absence of a Chairman, we have restyled the Chairman’s Notes as Committee Notes and have taken the opportunity to explain how the Committee is functioning, and to give a little background information about the four Committee members and Karen Fletcher who provides invaluable help with publicity and events. I am pleased to include an extended feature on the recent Wexford Festival Opera production of Koanga which I was privileged to see; this includes Michael Gieleta’s Director’s Notes, a report on the entertaining and informative talk given to members in November by Michael along with conductor Stephen Barlow and, of course, an in-depth review of the production along with a round-up of some of the press comments. Also featured are articles on Hiawatha, North Country Sketches and O’Neill, as well as a re-examination of the evidence surrounding Delius’s lost child and a piece on the influence of birds in Delius’s music. If there is an article you particularly enjoy – or don’t enjoy – or if you want to present an alternative viewpoint, please do let me know. Letters to the Editor are always welcome and make for lively debate. Many thanks to Martin Lee-Browne, now the Adviser to The Delius Society, who travels around the country attending performances of Delius and whose reviews consequently appear regularly in the Journal. I’m sure he must bump into others of you at some of these events, and it would be great to have a whole team of reviewers to call on, but I can only do so if I know that you’re planning to be there. So if you are intending to be at a concert with Delius in the programme and would be willing to review it for these pages, please would you let me know (details below) before the concert takes place so that I can let Martin off the hook from time to time! Please do keep the contributions coming in; this Journal is only as good as you make it. I look forward to hearing from you! Katharine Richman [email protected] Tel 01252 861841 or 07940 888508 DSJ 159 5 COMMITTEE NOTES In place of the usual Chairman’s notes are notes from the new Committee. As you will know, both Martin Lee-Browne (Chairman) and Chris Green (Vice-chairman) retired at the AGM last November and these two positions are both currently vacant. The work of the Committee continues, however, to ensure that we can bring you this Journal, the Newsletter, and plan and organise events for you all as members. The Committee comprises four members: Peter Watts (Treasurer), Paul Chennell (Membership Secretary and Newsletter Editor), Katharine Richman (Journal Editor and Secretary to the Committee) and Roger Buckley (Delius Prize and AGM 2016). Peter, Paul and Katharine were elected at the AGM and Roger was co-opted, for a period of one year, at the first meeting of the new Committee in February 2016. The Committee could not manage without independent music consultant Karen Fletcher, who is responsible for Publicity and Events. We thought it would be helpful if we each introduced ourselves, explaining a little about our backgrounds and why we came to be involved with The Delius Society. Peter Watts’ musical life started as a Cathedral chorister and continued

Kildare 2012 Head of Department: Professor Fiona M. Palmer Supervisors: Dr Lorraine Byrne Bodley & Dr Patrick F. Devine Acknowledgements I would like to express my appreciation to a number of people who have helped me throughout my doctoral studies. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to my supervisors and mentors, Dr Lorraine Byrne Bodley and Dr Patrick Devine, for their guidance, insight, advice, criticism and commitment over the course of my doctoral studies. They enabled me to develop my ideas and bring the project to completion. I am grateful to Professor Fiona Palmer and to Professor Gerard Gillen who encouraged and supported my studies during both my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the Music Department at NUI Maynooth. It was Professor Gillen who introduced me to Stanford and his music, and for this, I am very grateful. I am grateful to the staff in many libraries and archives for assisting me with my many queries and furnishing me with research materials. In particular, the Stanford Collection at the Robinson Library, Newcastle University has been an invaluable resource during this research project and I would like to thank Melanie Wood, Elaine Archbold and Alan Callender and all the staff at the Robinson Library, for all of their help and for granting me access to the vast Stanford collection.

Concerto No. 1, written in 1927, is a vivid and witty example of his romantic spirit, exquisite melodies and rich yet transparent orchestration. Concerto No. 2, composed a decade later, is a darker, more dramatic and virtuosic work. The deeply-felt and dreamlike slow movement and passionate finale are tinged with bleak moments of somber agitation, suggestive of unfolding tragic events with the imminent introduction of the Fascist Racial Laws that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to seek exile in the USA in 1939. The Four Dances from ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, part of the composer’s recurring fascination for the art of Shakespeare, are atmospheric, richly characterised and hugely enjoyable. This is their first performance and recording. After winning national and international awards, Alessandro Marangoni has appeared throughout Europe and America, as a soloist and as a © Zu Zweit chamber musician, collaborating with some of Italy’s leading performers.
