MI: LIBRARY: MUSIC

Just as we call the clear richness of a particular instrument, “guitar”. Or like we call the colorful voice of a certain woodwind, “clarinet”. We call the buzzes and chirps of the outdoors, “nature.”  

Nature may be as broad a term as music itself, but in many ways, nature is music. Nature is a sort of orchestra in which the musicians are animals, and the music is life. This orchestra called nature is very special in that, no man will ever be able to play the music it can. 

Laugh if you will, but anyone who has ever awaken during a cold winter night, and heard the eerie cry of restless coyotes, will not. Nor will he who has taken an early walk while morning birds chirped him along. Or the lucky soul whose taken an evening stroll through a garden to the sound of a “cricket ensemble. ”These are songs that man can only enjoy, because you won’t find the sheet music at your local store. Such composers as Rimsky-Korsakoff with his “Flight of the Bumblebee”, or Saint-Saens and “The Carnival of Animals”, or Chopin and his “Butterfly Etude.” They’re all wonderful attempts to simulate something, something of a higher level of knowledge than man is not entirely capable of understanding.
