A few months ago I was listening to a classical music station and heard, On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring. I was mesmerized and have fallen in love with Delius' music. At almost 70, it makes me so nostalgic, longing for a simpler time.
Adding: it's okay with me that Florida is pictured, not only Appalachia. I felt sorry for Delius, told to make a business of Florida's orange groves...but I feel so lucky for us and the restvof posterity; we received such music as Florida Suite.
JAYNE THE TIME TRAVELER, YOU HAVE LINKED YOURSELF FOREVER WITH THE GREAT MAESTRO, AS IF YOU WERE THERE WHEN THIS WAS CREATED, JUST AS IF YOU COLLABORATED WITH HIM IN HIS OWN DAY, YOU HAVE DONE MORE TO BRING THIS GLORIOUS MUSIC TO THE WORLD THAN THE GREAT COMPOSER HIMSELF, AND FOR THAT I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL, YOUR PERFECT PICTURES AND VISUALS AND ARTISTRY ARE FOREVER LINKED WITH THIS EVERLASTING MUSIC !!! I THINK OF YOU VEEEEEEEEEEEEERY FONDLY AS I PLAY THIS MUSIC 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY FOR OVER 3.5 YEARS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I HAD TO CUT BACK FROM 10 TIMES A DAY, I WAS GETTING TOO OBSESSED - HA)
Thank you so very much for your wonderful support. I don't think there has been a better and more devoted follower of these videos. To have your encouragement is a great boost to my efforts. You clearly have great sensitivity to relate to the music of Delius in such a way. You are indeed a sweet sensitive soul and it is a great and rewarding privilege that you so generously sing such lovely praises. You are such sweet music to my ear. Much Love from the UK xxx
The joy, hope, and quiet energy in so many places, the serenity in others, and the sense of longing and loss in others really "sing" to the human condition. Delius has seen me through so much and is, in this moment, sustaining me through something very painful and fearful. But I've turned so many times to "Song of the High Hills" and "Songs of Farewell" and a number of Delius' short works. Why do I forget about Appalachia? The images provided here really visually elevate this piece. It was the beautiful thumbnail of the sun over the St Johns that brought me to this video. Thank you so much to the creator of this channel
Thank you so much for posting this thoughtful comment. Music such as this can change lives for the better and is the best tonic (for those who can listen) in times of distress. I hope music such as this will continue to sustain you over whatever trials, and that the wonderful renewal of Nature will triumph over all ill and be a source of inspiration and comfort to us all. After all, we are all part of 'Nature' and Delius was the very 'Apostle of Nature' represented in music.

I completely agree, most underappreciated composer I know of. The Delius Channel has opened up much new appreciation and many pieces I have not heard before. Brings me to a place of serenity like no other.
Maybe not well-enough known. But those of us who love his music (and sometimes think of it in all caps) rate him really highly! Thanks for your enthusiasm.
I heard this masterpiece a few years ago. Today, after quite some time without listening to classical music I came back and I recalled my earlier impressions on this music. Oh I really think this is some of the most beautiful things i've ever heard... not in music, but in everything one can hear. How sublime! Thank you!

Dear Avideogal, If it was't for Eric Fenby's devout faith, much of Delius' music would have been lost forever. The world is full of strange contradictions and the Delius story is certainly one. (Please see Mister Fenby and Delius for full movie on this channel) Even the established church has become a contradiction it seems. My spiritual journey is usually out there in a leafy cathedral of remote woodland or lonely windswept moorland far far away from the madding crowd. The worst scenario is that human beings are left totally to their own follies something that I have hope and faith is not the case. God help us and God bless you my dear Avideogal. Sending you much love and wishing you every contentment. Jayne xxxxx

There are few really successful performances of Delius works, by that I mean really imaginative, interesting interpretations that make the whole of each work sound convincing, but there are some such as those by Beecham that achieve this. Groves, Mackeras, Handley and Hickox do some of the best Delius recordings. Usually with a Delius album one or two of the works are done really well and the rest are less successful as interpretations. I am trying to get the most successful interpretations on cd while they are still available.
I think it is important to note that Delius considered "Appalachia" to be the Native American name for the entire North American continent. Was he correct? Maybe so, maybe not, but as such, the pictures of rivers, whether the St. John's or the Mississippi are perfectly appropriate. The time between 4:30 and 5:00 in the video is clearly an aerial view of a broad river.
Thank you John, I felt that the best images then available attempted to enrich the experience. It would have been great to have more vintage material though. Jayne Anne.
1:34-3:44 is the Appalachia I know, because I live in the foothills of these ancient mountains, and can confirm that Delius got the tone mostly right. But why are nine-tenths of the photos of the Mississippi, the Gulf Coast, and Florida? No Appalachian mountains there!
There are some Nero, but due to a limited stock of quality images available it is not always possibe to be totally authentic. Many of the images represent the St John's River in Florida where Delius gained so much influence. The rest combine to create an impression of the great continent of 'Appalachia' which is now modern 'America'.
@@thedeliuschannel - My friend, I would not dream of complaining; call it a "vigorous observation." Delius' music is the key thing, after all. I appreciate all your efforts to produce this content in a beautiful way for us all. Thank you!
@@nerowolfe736 Thank you so much for your input Nero. I do agree that the music is key to whatever you discover along the way. It is great to have your interest and to share this passion. Best wishes Jayne Anne.
I first heard this piece in a concert given by a local choral society in the North East of England just over 50 years ago and fell in love with it. I have not seen it on any concert programme any time since, not even in the area in which I now live (South East England). It beats me as to why as it is one of the most richly melodic and memorable orchestral and choral pieces and is of the right length not to outstay its welcome. No doubt the fact it is based on a slave song will mean it never sees the light of day again ("cultural appropriation", colonisation etc.) in the concert hall.
Thank you, sadly the work of this composer is often overlooked these days and if politics has anything to do with it that will be most regrettable and erroneous especially in the case of Delius. I can only hope that the growing of this channel will help to bring Delius to a wider audience and more live performances the better! Great comment, thanks again.
A few months ago I was listening to a classical music station and heard, On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring. I was mesmerized and have fallen in love with Delius' music. At almost 70, it makes me so nostalgic, longing for a simpler time.
Dear Barbara, like you I came to Delius by way of the First Cuckoo. The longing is also just the same. Thank you.
Me too! Oh for quiet country days before the extinction of so many wondrous creatures, when life was quiet and pastoral.
Adding: it's okay with me that Florida is pictured, not only Appalachia. I felt sorry for Delius, told to make a business of Florida's orange groves...but I feel so lucky for us and the restvof posterity; we received such music as Florida Suite.

1:34-3:44 is the Appalachia I know, because I live in the foothills of these ancient mountains, and can confirm that Delius got the tone mostly right. But why are nine-tenths of the photos of the Mississippi, the Gulf Coast, and Florida? No Appalachian mountains there!
There are some Nero, but due to a limited stock of quality images available it is not always possibe to be totally authentic. Many of the images represent the St John's River in Florida where Delius gained so much influence. The rest combine to create an impression of the great continent of 'Appalachia' which is now modern 'America'.
@@thedeliuschannel - My friend, I would not dream of complaining; call it a "vigorous observation." Delius' music is the key thing, after all. I appreciate all your efforts to produce this content in a beautiful way for us all. Thank you!
@@nerowolfe736 Thank you so much for your input Nero. I do agree that the music is key to whatever you discover along the way. It is great to have your interest and to share this passion. Best wishes Jayne Anne.
Any indigenous melodies ,rhythms?
Beautiful performance and lovely evocative photography.
Photos remind me of DELIVERANCE movie.
I first heard this piece in a concert given by a local choral society in the North East of England just over 50 years ago and fell in love with it. I have not seen it on any concert programme any time since, not even in the area in which I now live (South East England). It beats me as to why as it is one of the most richly melodic and memorable orchestral and choral pieces and is of the right length not to outstay its welcome.
No doubt the fact it is based on a slave song will mean it never sees the light of day again ("cultural appropriation", colonisation etc.) in the concert hall.
Thank you, sadly the work of this composer is often overlooked these days and if politics has anything to do with it that will be most regrettable and erroneous especially in the case of Delius.
I can only hope that the growing of this channel will help to bring Delius to a wider audience and more live performances the better! Great comment, thanks again.
I think you and i have similar musical tastes Jayne.
Hi Jayne. I am a devout Delian!
US southern classics!!
The Yearling brought me here.
Florida and arrangements of Delius' music, very apt. Thank you.
Shame it ends so abruptly.
Sorry Dennis but it is true to this recording and the images linger on as in a dream.....
Why so many pictures of riverboats? Florida has no riverboats....
Florida had such boats on the St. John's River some of the images are original postcards!
@@thedeliuschannel I stand corrected!
took an European to be the first American composer
Scintillating
