In Tune With Nature

Sounds of the natural world inspired Charles Ives, Henry Cowell and Olivier Messiaen - who, through innovative orchestration, sought to capture the spirit animating the colors and rhythms of nature. Now, a new generation of composers and recording artists is going to the source, incorporating the actual sounds of earthquakes and volcanoes, songbirds and gorillas, to create what's being called "ambient music." Join Ellen Kushner and explore the music of earth, air, fire and water!
