Frederick Delius was born to a wealthy family in Bradford, England. Despite his family's disapproval, he pursued his passion for music and studied in Leipzig, Germany. He traveled extensively throughout Europe and settled in the small French village of Grez-sur-Loing.
Delius was heavily influenced by the natural world and his travels, often incorporating them into his compositions. He is known for his use of impressionistic harmonies, lush orchestrations, and unconventional forms.
In addition to his classical music compositions, Delius also wrote incidental music and operas, such as A Village Romeo and Juliet, which was based on a novella by Swiss writer Gottfried Keller.
Delius suffered from syphilis, which eventually led to his death in 1934. Despite his relatively short career, he left a significant legacy in classical music and is still admired and performed by orchestras around the world.
