More about La Calinda (from 'Koanga')
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.
