On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring

One of two pieces for small orchestra by Frederick Delius (the other being Summer Night on the River, 1911) composed in 1912. It was first performed at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on 2 October 1913. The cuckoo call is heard unobtrusively on the clarinet and the main theme is a Norwegian folk song, In Ole Dale, previously used by Grieg, arranged for piano in Norske Folkeviser, Op. 66 (no. 14).
