Peter Sculthorpe sentence of the day


William Barton’s virtuoso didgeridoo provided the underlay to this largely bold and distinctive choral piece, writes George Hall.
That’s the Guardian website’s front page promo for this review of Peter Sculthorpe’s 2004 Requiem, performed last week at the City of London festival. 

Titter ye not: the didgeridoo may not be a clarinet but Sculthorpe is more than a major Australian composer, he’s a major composer. And doesn’t he look as though he’d be good company.

I hear what you're saying. You're damned if you didgereedon't.

Or, in England, one is damned if one didgereedoesn't.
