Faber Music

Mangrove For Orchestra

Score

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.
