Imagine. You are in the middle of a giant forest\u2026all by yourself. You close your eyes and the only thing you can hear is the woods\u2019 \u2018voice\u2018. What can you hear? \u2028Birds singing jolly melodies? Creaking wood? Rustling leaves? A slight breeze?\u2028 Having this in mind, one could almost say that the forest follows its own rhythm and plays its own beautiful melody. <\/p>\n
Today, .Cent would like to take music pieces into account that all try to imitate nature\u2019s diverse sounds in order to create an emotionally charged picture of the natural world.
\nSpeaking of this, the world\u2019s superb classical composers have found inspiration in various sounds of the natural world and have created a great amount of compositions over the last centuries.
\nLet us start with The Four Seasons<\/em> by Italian classical composer Antonio Vivaldi<\/a>. Published in 1725, Vivaldi\u2019s best-known masterpiece consists of four varying violin compositions which mimic nature\u2019s seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter with the help of melodious violin sounds. Although solely concentrating on violins, each musical interpretation creates a very clear image of the season\u2019s individual differences which makes it a fantastic listening pleasure for the listener. By varying speed, intensity, volume and key, nature\u2019s four seasons become alive with all their individual characteristics.<\/p>\n
