- Title:
- Frederick Delius: Le Jardin du Paradis [A Village Romeo and Juliet] (Vocal Score)
- Scope & Content:
-
Vocal score entitled Le Jardin du Paradis, in several hands. The piano part (in mauve ink) is in Florent Schmitt's hand, but the voice parts (black ink) are in Delius's hand.
The text is written in French (red ink), above which it is written in English (black ink), and above again it is written in German (pencil) by Jelka Delius with some interpolations by Delius.
The score is undated and appears to be the earliest surviving version of the work. It comprises a Prologue and Acts I-III. Originally bound in two parts (Prologue with Acts I and II; Act III), with green covers to each. These parts have been bound together to form the present single volume, retaining the two original green front covers.
Threlfall, I/6.

- f. 10 is a small additional flap of score added to the right edge of f. 9.
