(An excerpt from the "Interview: Van Dyke Parks" on musicOMH.)
"When you asked if I had any influences, the answer is Percy Grainger, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Delius, Smetana, Dvořák - the guys that bring it from the streets. That's what really interests me. I've always wondered at that. People have done that so well, but I like to bring it in to song form, and it's the song form that is my gig."
