    • Abstract:
      The article features the Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. It says that Sculthorpe, who was born in 1929, reflects Australia in his music, which identifies life in the Australian outback, poetic descriptions of local wildlife, and respect to Aboriginal culture, particularly their creation myth known as the "dreamtime." Furthermore, several of his guitar music compositions are discussed including "Cantares," "Nourlangie," and "Tropic."
