aus Florida Suite

[EN]The 'Florida Suite' is an orchestral suite by English composer Frederick Delius (1862-1934). Despite the work's title, Delius actually composed this suite in Leipzig in 1887 after his time as manager of an orange grove in Jacksonville (Florida).

'By the River' is the second - flowing - movement of the 'Florida Suite. It's illustrating the gentle but perpetual movement of the 'St. Johns River' (on the banks of which was Delius's plantation). The calmness and steady rhythm of this movement guides the listener into a peaceful reflection.

[DE]Die Florida-Suite ist eine Orchestersuite des englischen Komponisten Frederick Delius (1862-1934). Trotz des Titels des Werks komponierte Delius diese Suite 1887 in Leipzig nach seiner Zeit als Manager eines Orangenhains in Jacksonville (Florida). By the River' ist der zweite - fließende - Satz der 'Florida Suite'. Er illustriert die sanfte, aber immerwährende Bewegung des St. Johns River' (an dessen Ufer Delius' Plantage lag). Die Ruhe und der gleichmäßige Rhythmus dieses Satzes führen den Hörer in eine friedliche Besinnung.
