Title:

Frederick Delius (Boosey & Hawkes Accessions): Hassan (original full score)

Scope & Content:

A hybrid full score, the majority of which is in the hand (black ink) of Philip Heseltine, here combined with elements from Delius's original pencil full score which were subsequently inked-in by another hand (possibly by Heseltine). The original pages by Delius is this score, noted below, are the 'Prelude to Act I', the 'Divertissement', and the 'Act 4 Prelude'. (Most of Delius's original pencil full score can be found in MS Mus. 1745/2/4.)

The present score was used by Universal Edition (as indicated on front buff cover, f. ii) to raise the orchestral material for the first performance (1 June 1923, Darmstadt), from whom it subsequently passed to Boosey & Hawkes.
