Few composers have responded as powerfully to place as Frederick
Delius (1862-1934). Born in Yorkshire, Delius resided in the United
States, Germany, and Scandinavia before settling in France, where
he spent the majority of his professional career. This book
examines the role of place in selected works, including 'On Hearing
the First Cuckoo in Spring', Appalachia, and The Song of the High
Hills, reading place as a creative and historically mediated
category in his music. Drawing on archival sources, contemporary
art, and literature, and more recent writing in cultural geography
and the philosophy of place, this is a new interpretation of
Delius' work, and he emerges as one of the most original and
compelling voices in early twentieth-century music. As the
popularity of his music grows, this book challenges the idea of
Delius as a large-scale rhapsodic composer, and reveals a richer
and more productive relationship between place and music.
