Great Sandy Island

這首五樂章作品的靈感來自伊萊紮-弗雷澤的故事。伊萊紮-弗雷澤是一位蘇格蘭婦女，也是船長的妻子，1836 年在昆士蘭海岸遇難（弗雷澤島由此得名）。 她被原住民俘虜，後被一名逃犯發現，並被帶到駐軍那裡。 最後，她失去了理智，在倫敦海德公園的遊樂場擺攤，以每篇六便士的價格出售她的故事。 斯庫爾索普的作品描繪了島上的風景、伊麗莎-弗雷澤與部落居民的遭遇以及她回歸文明社會的精神，但作品最後以她與囚犯之間的愛情之夢淒美收尾

原文簡介:
This five-movement work is inspired by the story of Eliza Fraser, a Scottish woman and captain’s wife who was shipwrecked in 1836 off the coast of Queensland (and gave her name to Fraser Island). She was captured by Aborigines, and found by a deserting convict who took her to an army garrison. Eventually she ended up, her sanity lost, in a fairground booth in Hyde Park, London, selling her stories for sixpence each. Sculthorpe’s work depicts the spirit of the landscape of the island, of Eliza Fraser’s encounters with the tribespeople, and her return to civilisation, but it ends poignantly with her dreams of the love that existed between her and the convict.
