Frederick Delius (1862 – 1934) was an English composer whose musical style is characterized by chromaticism, although it is still largely tonal with luscious harmonies - mainly slow moving, with the frequent use of leitmotifs and constantly evolving melody. Orchestral excerpts from his operas, for example La Calinda from Koanga — which originated in the 1880's Florida Suite — and The Walk to the Paradise Garden from A Village Romeo and Juliet, are also reasonably often played and recorded, as are orchestral works such as On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring.
2.) Starting his career in 2015, Quinten van Aalst, known as Delius, is sharing his vision of Hardstyle embodied in atmospheric, melodic and hard Hardstyle tracks.
After playing gigs such as Bass Protocol, Daylight Festival, Decibel Outdoor Festival and Intents Festival under his old alias ''No-Nonsense'', Quinten is known for delivering diverse and energetic Hardstyle sets. With his act ''Delius'', bringing his own sound to a higher level, it's time to keep an eye out for new collaborations, stages and more.

I heard it first as a schoolboy during the war with German bombs exploding all around us, but we all kept listening, as a way out of the terror we were experiencing then.

Graham Vahey I couldn't imagine a more striking picture. How wonderful to have music of such lilting beauty lift you away from the terror.

@giovanna reminds me of that video of a cellist at Kosovo i think it was.. xx

Such fond memories, my daughter called it fairy music, and danced around the lounge aged 4 to this. Delius was a great romantic and a great composer you can see the colours of his imagination throughout this piece

She walked down the aisle to this music to where I was waiting. I had introduced her to Delius--and every time I hear him in general and this piece in particular, my mind lingers on her.
John Petcher
This piece will be played at my funeral to celebrate my love of english music and the english countryside

My beloved dad used to play this piece on the piano when I was a child. I've now got it as my ringtone on my phone!
