Night Pieces 小品

20 世纪 60 年代，彼得-斯库尔索普开始深入研究日本文化，1971 年创作的《雪月与花》、《夜》和《星》这三首精致的作品就是其成果。开篇乐章（实际上是三首乐曲合一）以 "setsugekka "的概念为基础。这个概念与变形有关，"斯库尔索普写道，"例如，月光可以让花变成雪，也可以让雪变成花；月亮本身可以被视为巨大的雪花或巨大的白花

原文简介:
During the 1960s Peter Sculthorpe became deeply engaged with Japanese culture and these three exquisite pieces from 1971 – entitled ‘Snow Moon and Flowers’, ‘Night’, and ‘Stars’ – were the result. The opening movement (really three pieces in one) is based on the notion of setsugekka. ‘The concept is concerned with metamorphosis,’ wrote Sculthorpe, ‘moonlight, for instance may make snow of flowers, and flowers of snow; and the moon itself may be viewed as an enormous snowflake or a giant white flower.’ "Music of quality. . .delicate, harplike textures. They are evocative little sketches of a distinctly impressionistic kind." ?Musical Times (Frank Dawes), August 1975
