Music is in nature in so many ways. Through the sound of a river flowing or birds calling, there are many places that music can be found in nature. I love waking up in the summer with my window open to the sound of birds chirping. It’s like waking up to a personal alarm clock that gently wakes you up. I also love when I’m on vacation and can hear the calls from tropical birds and the crazy sounds the bugs make throughout the day, it’s a unique song that blends all the sounds together. They are sounds that you would think would clash together in your ears but somehow, they play in an almost harmony with one another presenting as music to my ears. Another great natural sound is that of whales calling. Their deep almost mournful cries echoing through the ocean plays a tune that reflects differently to everyone. Although I interpret their songs as a peaceful almost sad song, I know they have many calls for different purposes and someone else might interpret it in a more positive way than me. Sometimes when I can’t sleep I will listen to whale calls to calm myself and bring me to a place where my mind is resting, I find they have that capability for me.

Finding nature in music is a tougher one to tackle. As mentioned in some of the reading, sounds from nature can be used in songs as background noise and almost as an instrumental effect. But I think finding nature in music comes more from a personal memory. Like being out on a hike and getting this feeling of comfort, that you are safe and happy, then getting that same feeling through a song. Association is, in my opinion, a large part of finding nature in music. Whether it be through a memory or through a shared feeling. Many people might have certain songs that they really associate with nature whether it be a campfire song or simply a song they listened to on a picnic one day. 

A song that always reminds me of nature and of a beautiful landscape is the sound of music. As one of my favourite movies, I have always dreamed of visiting the rolling hills of Austria as Julie Andrews does in the beginning of the movie. There are some lines from the song in particular that really just bring nature and music together so beautifully. For example, ‘To laugh like a brook as it trips, and falls over stones on its way’ you can almost hear the sound of water tumbling over stones and when she is singing it in the movie it brings this piece to the song that just makes it that much better. The first line of the song ‘the hill are alive with the sound of music’ just carries this message that nature and music can be together in harmony.

Happy Monday y’all! Have you ever watched the movie Sound of Music? I watched this movie as a kid and when I found out that I was in the same country that the Hill scene was filmed, I HAD to ride there. Isn’t this cool? The hill has a cute picnic area where you can hang out, as well as a looking glass where the Trapp family escaped the Nazi’s. This is one of the first nostalgic places from my childhood I visited on this expedition. I don’t typically visit places from movies, but this was pretty cool to me.
