Gothic Silk

Pastoral and gothic in Sculthorpe’s Tasmania: An article from: Triquarterly Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe, a native of Tasmania, grows up reading Virgil’s work that explored on pastoral dynamics. Ball examines Sculthorpe’s “Quamby Bluff,” which expresses two dominant readings of Tasmanian landscape, namely, utopian pastoral and Gothic horror. He cites that “Quamby” provides clear evidence of the origins of the Pastoral aesthetic in Sculthorpe’s writing and shows that ideas are more than gestures of melodic sentimentality and that they are motivated in the social and political imaginary.
