Songs of Sea and Sky for Clarinet and Piano by Peter Sculthorpe. Faber Music, 1991, SS, 19 + 10 pages. Peter Sculthorpe (1929-2014) was an Australian composer known primarily for his orchestral and chamber music. Songs of Sea and Sky was inspired by a traditional melody from Saibai, an island just south of Papua New Guinea. Much of the music from this area has been strongly influenced by religious music introduced by missionaries in the nineteenth century. The work is one continuous movement with seven parts: Prelude (Liberamente), Saibai (Comodo), Interlude (Liberamente), Mission Hymn, (Moto sostenuto), Dance Song (Ritmico), Lament (Largamente), and Postlude (Largamente). Early college level with a duration of 15:30. (C1964)
