	The Music Show - 28/02/2004: Peter Sculthorpe
		Peter Sculthorpe: I think it is. Because most of my music is really seeking the sacred in nature, in the landscape, and therefore it’s inevitable that it should have something of ceremony in it.
		Peter Sculthorpe: It is. It’s not intended to be like a physical depiction, like it’s not my piece ‘Kakadu’, the only physical, the only pictures in it are those of birds, I mean they’re very obvious, because I love writing bird music.
		Peter Sculthorpe: Yes, in three movements, the Introit, the Gradual and Agnus Dei are basically for mixed chorus, drums, a lot of drumming, and French horns entwining their way through, and then punctuated by other instruments.

	Regions of Light: Paintings, Prints & Drawings by Peter Sculthorpe; essay by Robert L. Kurtz
		The elements in Sculthorpe's work combine to make a statement whose impact is overall and that relationship, the contract, between nature and man, the balance of aesthetics and life that, as the artist has discovered in his own existence, can be struck and maintained.
		Sculthorpe has traversed these lands time and again in every season of the year and in all weather; he has made himself an authority on the play of light on these hills and valleys.
		Sculthorpe has used trees in many works in the past as an integrated part of a whole - witness his seminal Hilltop Farm - but in this instance he brings to the fore, as the overwhelming focus the lone, all encompassing gum, whose outermost branches pierce the sides and top of the image.

		Sculthorpe, for instance, was discussing his intention to have the first third of “Ease of the Midnight Visit” as a duet for ACO artistic director and lead violinist Richard Tognetti, and Freedman has some thoughts about what he wanted to follow.
		Peter is probably thinking eight bars ahead, whereas I go two beats at a time.
		Sculthorpe is happy to acknowledge some tangible effect of his experience of working with Freedman.

		Peter Sculthorpe loves the cello's full, sonorous timbre and this recording strikingly demonstrates his expert use of it.
		David Pereira, for whom several of the pieces were written, has a strong, even a rugged sound when required, and that reinforces Sculthorpe's approach.
		Sculthorpe here lowers the fourth string by a step for even greater richness and the work's six movements include some of the CD's most affecting moments.

		Sculthorpe seems to demonstrate a special connection with the instrument and writes directly to its strengths: soulful lyricism; the widest range of all of the string instruments (augmented even further by his use of scordatura in the Requiem); and an impressive palate of extended techniques.
		Sculthorpe is also unique in that instead of composing for specific cellists, he often writes with very specific instruments in mind, such as the Stradivarius "Monk" cello once played by Feuermann.
		His compositional subjects are equally as varied, ranging from liturgical plainsong in the Requiem for cello alone to settings of aboriginal chants and songs.

	Classical Net - Composers - Sculthorpe
		Sculthorpe is an original voice in Australian music, combining an eclectic and constantly-evolving style rooted in classic forms with an intense interest in the indigenous music of his native land and the Pacific Rim.
		Sculthorpe's inventive and exploratory compositional techniques have made his music undoubtedly among the most important to emerge in Australia after World War II.
		However, it is not his musical craftsmanship but his determination to document, in sound, the socio-environmental character of Australia that has made Sculthorpe "the voice of the nation".

		This recording of music by Tasmanian-born Peter Sculthorpe contains works that are related to the unique social climate and physical characteristics of the Pacific region.
		From Oceania is composed in what is known as Sculthorpe’s Sun Music style, in which the orchestra is treated like a giant percussion instrument.
		What I like most about Sculthorpe's piano concerto is that it's not as much about the technical virtuosity of the solo, but that the soloist and the orchestra work together to paint an incredible picture.

		And the disc also gives a good feeling for the range in Sculthorpe's style - from the dry and shimmering "Sun Music III" (which is probably the most "difficult" selection included) to the joyful, medieval-like A cappella Christmas carol "Awake Glad Heart".
