Music: Sculthorpe at the Clancy 


1. Dream Tracks by Peter Sculthorpe
After a turbulent and disruptive 2020, the Australian Ensemble 2021 season opened as planned at the Clancy Auditorium on Saturday 10th  April. My friend booked me a front row seat, a perfect spot to immerse myself in the Dreaming, amidst the soothing sounds of the piano, violin and clarinet. This piece of music is meditative, and phenomenology came to mind; I closed my eyes, transcended the auditorium and situated myself in the sweeping beauty of Arnhem Land. I was in the good company of many ancient spirits, singing the charming indigenous melody of "whistling duck on a billabong." The following is a long interview with Sculthorpe, but you can fast forward to 13:05 just for the music. It is only 15 minutes long.
