English

Maud, Delius's setting of sections from Tennyson's 1855 poem of the same name for tenor and orchestra, presents some difficulties for categorisation as a work. In Delius's autograph, no order is indicated for the separate songs. Delius never had them published together and rejected Heseltine's proposal for a performance in 1929. Nevertheless, the individual songs, lacking a performance history in the composer's lifetime, have subsequently been treated as a composite work, and therefore are assigned a single work number here. Detailed descriptions of the autograph score is given under sources; the ordering now given in the Collected Edition was determined by Beecham. British Library MS Mus. 1745/1/39 contains an incomplete draft of another setting of Tennyson's Maud, 'I shall have had my day', so Delius possibly contemplated a larger selection at some point, or never conceived of a single work comprising his songs.
