Delage, Maurice (Charles)
Delage, Maurice (Charles) , French composer;b. Paris, Nov. 13, 1879; d. there, Sept. 19, 1961. He took lessons with Ravel. Subsequently he made voyages to the Orient, and was greatly impressed with Japanese art. His music reveals oriental traits in subject matter as well as in melodic progressions. An ardent follower of Debussy’s principles, Delage wrote music in a highly subtilized manner with distinctive instrumental colors. Among his compositions were Conte par la mer, symphonic poem (1908), songs with Small Orch.: 4 poemes hindous (1921), Roses d’Octobre (1922), 7 Hai-Kai (1923), 3 chants de la jungle (1935), 2 fables de La Fontaine (1949), and In Morte (1951), and String Quartet (1948).
