Frederick Delius was born in Bradford in 1862 and died at Grez-sur-Loing, near Paris, in 1934. Besides an enormous output of choral and instrumental music he wrote six operas, and in Act II of the third of these, a Negro opera, "Koanga" (1895-7), slaves on the plantation sing and dance "La Calinda" at the wedding festivities of Koanga and Palmyra. This dance is adapted here for concert purpose.
