	Frederick Delius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His father wanted Delius to work in the family wool and textile business but eventually sent him to be the manager of an orange grove in Florida.
		Delius's latter years were marred by increasing ill-health; as a young man (possibly in Paris) he had caught syphilis, the long term effects of which were to rob him of his sight and to cause him to become increasingly paralysed and eventually needing to use a wheelchair.
		He therefore employed Eric Fenby, who originally wrote Delius a fan letter, as his amanuensis and the great works of Delius's final years were dictated to Fenby, who later wrote a book about the experience of working with Delius.

	Body
		An attempt by the elder Delius to establish his son as an orange grower in Florida (1884-1885) was equally unsuccessful from an entrepreneurial perspective; but the imaginative, impressionable young man derived great cultural enrichment from his stay in the post-reconstruction American South.
		There Delius led a footloose existence, sowed more than a few wild oats, and quite possibly would have died penniless, relatively young, and unknown once his father's support ended had he not met and eventually married Jelka Rosen, an artist in the unusual circumstance of being heiress to a modest fortune.
		The music of Delius does not altogether reflect any of the stylistic trends that marked the first third of the twentieth century, yet neither is his postromanticism strictly of the familiar, sometimes overripe, late nineteenth- through early twentieth-century variety.

		Delius stayed there for a year and a half, before moving on to Danville, Virginia, with sufficient confidence to teach music in his own right.
		During his Paris period, Delius had little opportunity to have his larger scores played, and it was not until 1897 that the chance came to hear how his music really sounded, when he attended performances in Oslo of the play Folkeraadet, for which he had composed incidental music.
		Delius was going blind and losing the use of his limbs, although his mental faculties were to remain unimpaired until his death.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Delius Biography
		Delius' music evokes, instead, the immediacy of Black American folk songs, the passionate harmonies of Wagner, the romantic vistas of Grieg, and the evocative impressionism of Debussy.
		Delius spent more time studying violin and absorbing the music of the local fl population than tending his grove, however, for he soon abandoned the oranges for music.
		Delius' music, in turn, influenced other composers, and, although he did not meet Duke Ellington in France, it is a matter of record that the jazz legend loved, and was influenced by, his musical style.

		Friedrich Christian Delius was born in Rome in 1943 and grew up in Wehrda, Hessen, not far from the former GDR border.
		Delius is both prolific and multifaceted, having written six volumes of poetry, twelve volumes of prose fiction (novels and stories), and seven plays and radio dramas.
		In Delius’ hands, language is indeed a dynamic form of speech that is shaped quite differently from work to work, according to the character and situation that he illuminates.

	The Musical Times: Frederick Delius 1863-1934
		Delius, in spite of the many difficulties he had to contend with, never was embittered, and never encountered bitter antagonisms.
		Delius, when he obeyed his intuition, found it easier to be original.
		But Delius was not a Shakespeare, and he is the more admirable for his understanding of the character of his own genius.

		Delius' music belongs to no particular school and, although accepted in Germany, was not received well in this country (UK) until it was adopted enthusiastically by Sir Thomas Beecham, who championed it for the rest of his life.
		Delius' last few years were spent blind and bedridden, his last compositions made possible only trough the patient dedication of his friend and amanuensis, Dr. Eric Fenby (1906-1997).
		Delius' music is not as known as it deserves to be, so this Society is needed to promote it.

		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.
		Delius suffered severe health problems by 1910, manifestations of the syphilitic infection he contracted in Florida which culminated in blindness and complete paralysis, although his speech and his mind remained unimpaired.

		DELIUS, FREDERICK [Delius, Frederick], 1862-1934, English composer, of German parentage.
		Influenced by Grieg, Delius combined romanticism and impressionism in his music, which is characterized by rather free structure and rich chromatic harmony.

		But it is more than a film about Delius: it is a vivid and deeply moving account of how the 22-year-old Eric Fenby worked with the blind and paralysed composer, an ordeal and an achievement surely without parallel in the history of music.
		Delius and Fenby could not have listened to Appalachia on 78s: the work was not recorded until 1938.
		The mountain climbing sequence, in which Delius is carried to the summit to see one last sunset before his blindness became total, was for convenience shot in the Lake District, but it was surely a mistake to have Delius seen at one moment carried across so recognisable a beauty spot as Buttermere.

	Chapter 9: Jacksonville University, Jacksonville
		Delius’ intended purpose at Solano Grove was to operate an orange grove but in reality he came to Florida to escape his father’s pressure to join the family wool business.
		Delius left Florida after his second summer and moved for a short time to Danville, Virginia, where he taught and performed.
		Most of the music is evocative of Delius’ stay in America and the prologue and epilogue are set on an orange grove plantation.

		The Florida Suite stems from the time the young Delius spent on a plantation (sent by his father as a possible business future for his son) overseeing orange groves.
		Delius' father recognized his son's true vocation and sent him to the Leipzig Conservatory to study music; the Florida Suite was written during his student years.
		Delius has gone, but perhaps we will see his like once more, in a better world, to remind us of the power of nature.

		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 fl slaves.
		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."
		For the next 10 years or so, Delius lived in Paris, befriending many artists, writers, and musicians - indeed, this was another pivotal period in his life, in that so much of his output was to be influenced greatly by the literature and art to which he was exposed at this time.

		Delius was supposed to be kept in ignorance of these 'thunder letters' (as she used to call them), although he had an inkling all the same, and scolded her severely when things came to light.
		Delius on the other hand, in no sense a careerist, was quite content to let things be, even if hopeful of recognition.
		Delius died before Gardiner could complete the legal formalities, but his wishes in respect of me were honoured in part subsequently.

		Munch's paintings fill Delius' house, bizarre and slightly sinister, a tomb for the dying composer.
		Delius, like Percy Grainger, Bela Bartok and Edvard Grieg challenged the overblown style of the romantic movement with a freer form of music drawing from the folk tradition.
		Although Delius makes monstrous demands on his wife, there are hints that their earlier life when Delius was still sexually active, was even worse.

		In her quest Tasmin will experience for herself, in the places and atmosphere in which Delius heard them, the music and songs - jazz, spiritual and Dykes hymn - which had such a profound effect on him and on works which Tasmin has done so much in recent years to champion.
		But once launched on the search she quickly found that her theory was supported by the evidence of two of those closest to Delius in his lifetime.
		He had confirmed this account in 1941, writing that Delius had told him the story several times, adding that when Delius returned to America to try to find her she fled and had taken the child with her, fearing that Delius might want to take the boy away from her.

		Delius (played so wickedly wonderfully well by Max Adrian) says he wants to compose and he starts humming.
		Fenby, in frustration, realizing the uphill battle he has taken on, asks, "What key is it in, Sir" and Delius loses patience with the well-meaning young man. An uneasy start, to be sure, but by the end, previously unheard music finds its way onto paper and into concert halls.
		He had served as a confidant to Jelka and it is from her that he (and we) learns what Delius was like as a young man - his incredible womanizing, the brutal way he treated Jelka and finally, his contracting syphilis from the women with whom he had slept.

	Beecham Delius reissues
		I suspect that Delius causes more trouble for people familiar with the conventions of classical music than for those who "just listen." I don't mean any disparagement of Delius or "just listeners," but the correlation strikes me as true, since music is very largely an art of convention.
		Delius doesn't work the same way as Beethoven or Brahms, for example, or for those other composers largely responsible for the conventions of classical music.
		I'm not enough of a Delius scholar to know why or to what extent Beecham revised Summer Evening or the Florida Suite's "Daybreak—Dance." It does seem to me, however, that Summer Evening is the most conventional performance on the program, despite the superb playing from the Royal Phil.

	Film Review: Delius - Song Of Summer
		Delius (Max Adrian) is both paralysed and blind and it is this terrible plight which draws young musician and would-be-composer Fenby (Christopher Gable) to him.
		Delius inflicts his erratic moods and whims on a household stretched to near breaking-point, a household in which Fenby is to play a vital role for five years.
		The relationship between the pagan Delius and the Catholic Fenby is fascinatingly depicted with superb acting from both Adrian and Gable (his first acting role).
