Tone poems are orchestral works that evoke a narrative, painting or landscape. This form of music encourages the listener to release their imagination, exploring pictorial and dramatic possibilities through music.

A Song of Summer is the title of a tone poem by English composer Frederick Delius - an escapist musical depiction of the season with some delicious harmonies.
