During the 1960s Peter Sculthorpe became deeply engaged with
Japanese culture and these three exquisite pieces from 1971 -
entitled 'Snow Moon and Flowers', 'Night', and 'Stars' - were the
result. The opening movement (really three pieces in one) is based
on the notion of setsugekka. 'The concept is concerned with
metamorphosis,' wrote Sculthorpe, 'moonlight, for instance may make
snow of flowers, and flowers of snow; and the moon itself may be
viewed as an enormous snowflake or a giant white flower.' "Music of
quality. . .delicate, harplike textures. They are evocative little
sketches of a distinctly impressionistic kind." Musical Times
(Frank Dawes), August 1975
