Port Essington

斯库尔索普最著名的作品之一。 它讲述了 1838 年英国人试图在澳大利亚北部的埃辛顿港定居的故事。 定居者表现出顽强的生命力，但最终未能适应这片土地的条件，导致在 1849 年被完全遗弃。 弦乐队代表丛林，弦乐三重奏代表定居点。 三重奏模仿的是十九世纪的客厅音乐，但渐渐地弦乐队占据了主导地位，直到最后只剩下丛林音乐"

原文简介:
One of Sculthorpe’s best-known works. It tells of the attempted British settlement in 1838 of Port Essington in northern Australia. The settlers showed tenacity but ultimately failed to adapt to the conditions of the land, leading to complete abandonment in 1849. A string orchestra represents the bush and a string trio the settlement. The trio imitates nineteenth-century drawing-room music, but gradually the string orchestra dominates, until at the end only the music of the bush remains.
