Synopsis
Music & Nature 02 (in German only)Natura Naturans
The sparrows are whistling it from the rooftops - but to be precise, there are fewer and fewer sparrows. We hear their song, we understand exactly what they have to tell us - and we know exactly what we should do. But what happens inside us is called cognitive dissonance - and it has nothing to do with the sparrows possibly singing in the wrong key. Cognitive dissonance means that we refuse to perceive something that's happening right in front of our eyes, it's there every day, and it's within our grasp. We see it, but we just don't want to look. Can music that mimics the inner creative processes of nature possibly help us, possibly help us open our eyes and sharpen our perception? That is the question this music lesson addresses.

Five ways to describe nature5 Music Lessons by Uli Aumüller
The sparrows are whistling it from the rooftops - but to be precise, there are fewer and fewer sparrows. We hear their song, we understand exactly what they have to tell us - and we know exactly what we would have to do. But what happens inside us is called cognitive dissonance - and it has nothing to do with the sparrows possibly singing in the wrong key. Cognitive dissonance means that we refuse to perceive something that is happening right in front of our eyes, it's there every day, and it's within our grasp. We see it, but we just don't want to look. We are talking about nature, with which we do not live in harmony.
But what exactly does music have to do with nature? What connections of music to nature are possible? This week's SWR2 Music Lessons explore five different aspects. Natura Naturata: the imitation of created nature, its sonic surface - Natura Naturans: the imitation of the inner formative processes of nature, its often mathematical principles of action - De Natura Sonoris: the investigation of the properties of individual sounds and what aesthetic laws can be derived from them - De Natura Auris: This is about the question of our perception, what we hear, what we filter out, how we process what we hear - and finally Adoratio Naturae, the worship of nature, music, for example, that invokes rain, fertility, the majesty of the cosmos - or simply promises to sound in "harmony with nature."
