Night Pieces 小品

20 世紀 60 年代，彼得-斯庫爾索普開始深入研究日本文化，1971 年創作的《雪月與花》、《夜》和《星》這三首精緻的作品就是其成果。開篇樂章（實際上是三首樂曲合一）以 "setsugekka "的概念為基礎。這個概念與變形有關，"斯庫爾索普寫道，"例如，月光可以讓花變成雪，也可以讓雪變成花；月亮本身可以被視為巨大的雪花或巨大的白花

原文簡介:
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
