James Elroy Flecker (5 November 1884 – 3 January 1915) was a British novelist and playwright. As a poet he was most influenced by the Parnassian poets. Herman Elroy Flecker was born on 5 November 1884 in Lewisham, London, to Dr William Herman Flecker (d. 1941), headmaster of Dean Close School, Cheltenham, and his wife Sarah. His much younger brother was the educationalist Henry Lael Oswald Flecker (1896-1958), who became Headmaster of Christ's Hospital.

The play Hassan was the last work of writer James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915). Its full title is Hassan: The Story of Hassan of Baghdad and How he Came to Make the Golden Journey to Samarkand. A production in London's West End was planned immediately after Flecker's death, but those plans foundered due to the war. The play was not published until 1922, and Delius wrote this incidental music for the play's first production, in 1923. php?title Hassan, RT I/9 (Delius, Frederick)&oldid 2340948".

Delius felt much the same about his smoky Bradford birthplace as Walton felt about equally ‘up north’ Oldham. Neither felt any pangs of homesickness. Both composers were drawn to sun-kissed climes. Each imbued his music with sunshine and passion though Delius also had a predilection for things Nordic. Over the years EMI Classics have taken very seriously their role as chatelaine to a small pantheon of British composers and each rated multiple recordings. There were also single projects for some often extravagantly expensive byways.
