Frederick Delius shaped an intensely atmospheric strand of English music. His works often avoid hard outlines in favor of flowing harmony, landscape, memory, and sensuous orchestral color. Pieces such as Brigg Fair, On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring, Sea Drift, and A Mass of Life place him in the late Romantic and early modern orchestral world.
