Frederick Delius

3 Symphonische Dichtungen

Three Small Tone Poems

DCW Coll. 2
RT VI/7
DCE 21a and 21b

Composer: Frederick Delius

Like the Suite de Trois Morceaux Caracteristiques, this work is extant as a single manuscript labelled in Delius's autograph, but the constituent items have independent publication histories. Intriguingly, Threlfall notes references by Beecham to an Autumn tone poem that would have completed the cycle of works inspired by the seasons. However, no such work has ever been forthcoming. 

Composition: Between 1889 and 1890.
