Impressionism in Music: Charles Tomlinson Griffes and Frederick Delius

Griffes' 'The White Peacock' and Delius' 'A Song of Summer' are a couple of melancholic pieces of music. I think that if they could be used on a film, characters will be suffering or living some serious drama. Personally, I got rather sad and lonely while listening the mentioned melodies.
'The White Peacock' featured a quite particular of piano that I completely enjoyed -even when I was getting melancholic-.

I could feel I was in a scenery like this while listening to these Impressionists

  1. Great, apt picture! Indeed, "Impressionist music" can be quite melancholy...
