Sculthorpe uses this material throughout the work, transforming it through a series of contrasting sections that evoke sea journeys, birds in flight and the changing relationship between sea and sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music combines lyrical, atmospheric writing with more energetic passages, giving the flautist opportunities to explore tonal colour, expressive phrasing, rhythmic flexibility and a wide dynamic range. The work lasts approximately 16 minutes and is particularly suited to advanced players looking for distinctive contemporary recital repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Peter Sculthorpe\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Sculthorpe was one of Australia’s most important twentieth-century composers, known for music strongly influenced by the Australian landscape, environment and cultural identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis output includes orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental music, with several works featuring the flute.
