Delius’ “Florida Suite”

Composed as a result of his two year Florida sojourn

circa 1884-1886, it pictures what he saw, perhaps felt,

but definitely what he saw.

As I listen to it the thought comes to mind that much of

what he saw then is still to be seen, or as I’m fond of

saying “just like the Indians left it”. I don’t know about

you, but as for me how they left it is how I like it.
