Paris: The Song of a Great City
Paris: The Song of a Great City (full title: Paris, A Night Piece - The Song of a Great City) is a nocturne for orchestra composed by Frederick Delius in 1899; its world premiere, in Germany in 1900, was conducted by Hans Haym. Rather than a literal depiction of the city, the piece is meant as a depiction of the composer's own impressions.
