Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)Elegy 'In memoriam Peter Sculthorpe' : for strings and percussion / Harry Sdraulig.by Harry Sdraulig (2015)
|
Product details
This piece was composed at the request of Fabian Russell for the
University of Melbourne Orchestra. It is scored for full strings,
timpani and percussion (including anvil and vibraphone).
Elegy 'In Memoriam Peter Sculthorpe' was written in
commemoration of one of Australia's most inventive and
influential composers, whose passing on August 8, 2014 was deeply
felt by the countless musicians and audiences to have been
touched by the integrity, humanity and beauty of his music. I
feel very humbled to have been given the opportunity to compose a
piece in memory of such a
significant icon of Australian music.
Though this piece contains a few deliberate references to Peter
Sculthorpe's music, especially through the use of percussion
(reminiscent of Earth Cry) and the desolate spirituality
of the cello solo at the work's heart, I have avoided any attempt
at imitation or pastiche, instead composing a work true to my own
individual language. It is nevertheless written with heartfelt
respect for a man whose influence on the landscape of Australian
art music is unparalleled.
