Great Sandy Island

这首五乐章作品的灵感来自伊莱扎-弗雷泽的故事。伊莱扎-弗雷泽是一位苏格兰妇女，也是船长的妻子，1836 年在昆士兰海岸遇难（弗雷泽岛由此得名）。 她被原住民俘虏，后被一名逃犯发现，并被带到驻军那里。 最后，她失去了理智，在伦敦海德公园的游乐场摆摊，以每篇六便士的价格出售她的故事。 斯库尔索普的作品描绘了岛上的风景、伊莉萨-弗雷泽与部落居民的遭遇以及她回归文明社会的精神，但作品最后以她与囚犯之间的爱情之梦凄美收尾

原文简介:
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.
