The sea organ of Zadar is also very interesting! Not a typical instrument and it's played by the sea. ;)

Sometimes nature itself sounds like a musical instrument.

I was relaxing in a nature reserve one sunny day, listening to the birds and the seed pods occasionally snapping open on a swathe of bushes. A slow and hot wind started to sway back and forth, and every time the air pulsed through the bushes it somehow caused lots of the seed pods to pop in tandem.

It sounded orchestral, and quite beautiful - rising to crescendos and then gently fluttering back down. If I'd heard it recorded without actually being there I wouldn't have believed that it was a random event with no musician involved. 8-)

[mention]Davey944676[/mention] Wow! That would have been interesting to listen to! I love nature's orchestra!

Have you hear the wind instruments,
they play the fir trees,
the grind of wood on wood,
the brushing of the branches,
the swish of the leaves swaying in the breeze.
or the tinkling of the brook,
the slow burp of the stream,
the gurgling of the creek.
The crash of thunder,
The speed of the wind,
It's moan.
The piping of the birds,
the raucous crows.
the soft melodies,
the plaintive tunes
sweet chirps.
The smashing of waves on the shore,
the gentle lapping on sand,
the slapping on the pier.
All is natures orchestra.

It is my feeling that every language has music to it, in its sounds, in the rhythms of the syllables, the ways that consonants and vowels connect and interact.

Duolingo stirred an interest in me and through it, I now have liked over 6000 songs. Most are in English, my native tongue, but I have many songs in French and Spanish, a decent number of songs in Portuguese and Italian, some in Catalán, some in Romanian, a few in Basque. A pretty good number of songs in Finnish. Have found a few in Esperanto on Spotify. Last night I found my first few songs of Hatian Creole. Some in Frisian. A few in Greek.

One of my favorite singers is Coeur de Pirate from Quebec. Her song, Place de la République, is a song that could make many want to learn French just from hearing it for the first time, though it's heartbreaking if you do learn French and understand the lyrics.

🌳 🌲 All nature and the forest as part of it constantly and invariably surprise me. 🙂 🍂 🍁

There is everything in the sounds of "Nature": rhythm and melody, choruses, pitch and tempo, harmony that can express all emotions.

Nature likes variety. Nature does not like stagnation and peace. There is movement in it - eternal movement and constant creativity and evolutionary development. Nature has very rational laws in which you can discover rhythm and meaning.

Music, both the one created by composers and the one in Nature, affects humans in very different ways, because it all depends on the mood of the listener and is perceived very subjectively. Sometimes it calms down, sometimes inspires, sometimes surprises, and when necessary - even stimulates to fight, sometimes it just is there.

From the earliest years, since man organizes the sound structure in time, that is, since he composes, many, really many music creators have been looking for inspiration and inspiration in nature, because nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, impressions, experiences and sensations.

💫 What is music then? 💫

The answer can be found, for example, in the words of the poet Ludwik Jerzy Kern:

(in Polish)
Czym jest muzyka? Nie wiem.
Może po prostu niebem z nutami zamiast gwiazd.
Może mostem zaklętym, po którym instrumenty przeprowadzają nas.
Wszystko – jak raz ktoś orzekł – muzyczne ma podłoże, nawet księżyca blask.

☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽ ☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽♡❊☆☺☽

For each of us, ♫ music ♬is something different - we perceive it differently, we have different feelings in our hearts when we listen to it and different emotions, for some it is a reminder of the old days, for others it is a dream.

🎻 Muzyka dla każdego z nas jest czymś innym. 🦋 ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

One of my favorite composers is Sibelius and sometimes I think of how much joy he must have felt seeing spring come to life and take hold when in Finland. His tone poem, Spring, to my ears and mind, captures a sense of spring that words can't quite do.

I only discovered Alela Diane's music earlier this year and have fallen in love with a number of her songs. She writes some very striking lyrics that sometimes go through me like knives almost. IMO, she's well worth listening to if you want some softer sided music that still has a kind of bite to it.

Hi, I would like to ask you what kind of childhood lullaby do you like? ... because my favorite is: ⭐ Śpij, kochanie ⭐
( często do niej wracami i lubię ją nucić )

Grzegorz Turnau & Magda Umer - ⭐ Śpij, kochanie ⭐

Tekst piosenki:

W górze tyle gwiazd
W dole tyle miast
Gwiazdy miastu dają znać
Że dzieci muszą spać...

Ach śpij kochanie
Jeśli gwiazdkę z nieba chcesz, dostaniesz
Czego pragniesz, daj mi znać
Ja Ci wszystko mogę dać
Więc dlaczego nie chcesz spać?

Ach, śpij, bo nocą
Kiedy gwiazdy się na niebie złocą
Wszystkie dzieci, nawet złe
Pogrążone są we śnie
A Ty jeden tylko nie...

A-a-a, a-a-a
Były sobie kotki dwa
A-a-a, a-a-a
Szarobure, szarobure, obydwa

Ach, śpij, bo właśnie
Księżyc ziewa i za chwilę zaśnie
A gdy rano przyjdzie świt
Księżycowi będzie wstyd
Że on zasnął, a nie Ty

A-a-a, a-a-a
Były sobie kotki dwa
A-a-a, a-a-a
Szarobure, szarobure, obydwa

W górze tyle gwiazd
W dole tyle miast
Gwiazdy miastu dają znać
Że dzieci muszą spać...

Więc śpij, ach śpij kochanie
Gwiazdkę z nieba jeśli chcesz - dostaniesz
Czego pragniesz, daj mi znać
Ja Ci wszystko mogę dać
Więc dlaczego nie chcesz spać?

Ach, śpij, bo właśnie
Księżyc ziewa i za chwilę zaśnie
A gdy rano przyjdzie świt
Księżycowi będzie wstyd
Że on zasnął, a nie Ty

The advent season begins on Sunday, so I think it might be a good idea to share some of our favorite Christmas carols. Some German Christmas carols are known worldwide, but there are some other beautiful ones that are less known. Here are two songs that are older than 400 years and very beautiful:

&[mention]Corinnebelle[/mention] I haven't been able to find out what instrument that is. The man must be Albrecht Haaf, the founder of the group "feiburger spielleyt" (https://freiburgerspielleyt.de). Spielleyt is old German (Alemannic dialect) for Spielleute, medieval musicians (gleemen, bandsmen). Freiburg is a beautiful university city in the southwest of Germany, close to France and Switzerland.

I don't usually go into churches because I'm afraid of coming out on fire. That said, I really enjoy listening to choirs at Christmas. The temple acoustics are wonderful.

Lyrics in Latin: benedictus qui venit in nomine domini (blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord).



I just noticed this video is over 7 years old. These guys' voices must have already been ruined by the effects of testosterone. Did you know that in the Baroque, boys who showed extraordinary abilities for singing were castrated so that they could keep their angelical voices as adults? Yes, that's awful, but it actually happened!
