:21:14. > :21:17.fight to find it. According to local historian Irene Lofthouse,

:21:42. > :21:44.He had his own ideas. Instead of picking up the family business, he
:21:44. > :21:46.threw himself into music, travelling around the world for
:21:46. > :21:50.inspiration. And as Tasmin and I are about find
:21:50. > :22:00.out, his rich musical legacy is being used in a variety of creative

:22:01. > :22:04.A few miles from the family's warehouse is the Delius Special

:22:41. > :22:45.Delius himself, Tasmin is keen to break down musical barriers, an
:22:45. > :22:50.attitude which is at the heart of this school's work. We have got
:22:50. > :22:54.children who are autistic and they have difficulty expressing their
:22:54. > :22:59.emotions in a normal situation. But give them music and talk to them
:22:59. > :23:03.about emotion through music and they can be as expressive and
:23:03. > :23:08.interested in opening Gupta people as anybody else, so it is quite
:23:08. > :23:17.wonderful -- opening up to people. Delius wanted his work to connect
:23:17. > :23:20.with the soul, and the curriculum here would be music to his ears.
:23:20. > :23:23.As Delius grew up, he moved away from Bradford, but continued to
