Peter Sculthorpe: Memento Mori (Score)

Beskrivning

Memento Mori is a work for Orchestra from celebrated Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. The piece features some hauntingly beautiful melodies and striking tonal contrasts. The work is said to be inspired by a visit to Easter Island, famous for its great stone heads, monuments that can be seen as both an example of the indomitable nature of the human spirit and as part of its great folly -for their making and transportation deforested and impoverished the island.
