Quamby

昆比悬崖是塔斯马尼亚州的一个悬崖峭壁，据说殖民地政府的士兵曾将一个部落的原住民赶到悬崖边，让他们选择被枪杀或跳崖自尽。他们选择了后者，并在跳下时高喊 "Quamby！Quamby！"，意思是 "救救我！救救我！"。其中一些抒情音乐源自作曲家年轻时创作的旋律素材"

原文简介:
Quamby Bluff is a mountainous outcrop in Tasmania, where colonial government soldiers reputedly drove a tribe of Aborigines to the cliff’s edge where they faced the choice of being shot, or jumping to their deaths. They chose the latter and as they jumped shouted “Quamby! Quamby!”, meaning “Save me! Save me!”. Some of the lyrical music derives from melodic material composed during the composer’s youth.
