From a West-Country concert hall
Roy Henderson (baritone)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Leader, Paul Beard
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Ireland's ' London Overture ', originally written for brass band in 1934 and later transcribed for orchestra, is based on a theme which is a musical version of the word ' Piccadilly'. It was suggested to the composer on hearing a bus conductor calling out the word with varying intensity for the information of his passengers.
Although Delius gave his nocturne for orchestra ' Paris' the sub-title ' The Song of a Great City ', it was not intended to convey any descriptive interpretation. As Philip Hesel tine points out, for Delius ' Paris is not merely a great city of France: it is a corner of his own soul..... In this work is revealed an image of the night-moods of the city, together with much that is of a more purely personal nature, which -clear as is its general significance --each listener will interpret in terms of himself, even as the composer has interpreted the moods of a multitude in terms of his own moods.'
Written in 1899, ' Paris ' was conceived after the composer had lived for ten years in the city.
