Peter Sculthorpe: Mangrove (Full Score)

Full Score of Peter Sculthorpe's Mangrove for Orchestra.
Published by Faber Music.

'Lush and pictorial, it consisted of sharply defined sections that courted the charge of mere exoticism - evocations of Oriental musics and sounds, full of throbbing strings, rapidly reiterated percussion and all manner of aural colour presumably inspired by alien cultures. But Mr Sculthorpe is no simple-minded purloiner of sonic artifacts; his piece coheres into a statement by a distinctive composer with something interesting and evocative to say.'

~ John Rockwell, The New York Times (10th of June 1984)
