Small Town

這是斯庫爾索普演奏次數最多的作品之一，靈感來自 D-H-勞倫斯的小說《袋鼠》中的一段話，他在其中描述了新南威爾士州的 Thirroul 鎮。 在作品的核心部分，兩支小號在低沉的弦樂中演奏出縈繞心頭的卡農曲調 "最後的崗哨"。 小鎮》經常被用來為公民場合、澳新軍團日遊行和國家葬禮的廣播伴奏。 它也是管弦樂隊教育計畫的最愛"

原文簡介:
One of Sculthorpe’s most performed works, it was inspired by a passage from D H Lawrence’s novel, “Kangaroo”, in which he describes the town of Thirroul in New South Wales. At the heart of the work, two trumpets play “The Last Post” in haunting canon over hushed strings. Small Town is often used to accompany broadcasts of civic occasions, Anzac Day processions and at state funerals. It is also a firm favourite with orchestra education programmes.
