Port Essington

斯庫爾索普最著名的作品之一。 它講述了 1838 年英國人試圖在澳大利亞北部的埃辛頓港定居的故事。 定居者表現出頑強的生命力，但最終未能適應這片土地的條件，導致在 1849 年被完全遺棄。 絃樂隊代表叢林，弦樂三重奏代表定居點。 三重奏模仿的是十九世紀的客廳音樂，但漸漸地絃樂隊佔據了主導地位，直到最後只剩下叢林音樂"

原文簡介:
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.
