Sculthorpe, Peter : Third Sonata for Strings

£9.99

The Third Sonata for Strings is based upon Sculthorpe’s String Quartet No 11, written for the Kronos Quartet.  The subtitle, “Jabiru Dreaming” takes its name from a rock formation in Kakadu National Park.  The music contains rhythmic patterns found in the tribal music of the Kakadu area and that reflect the gait of the ‘jabiru’ stork, whilst the second part derives from an Aboriginal chant transcribed in 1802.
