Sacred Tones: A Nature Instrument Journey - Nature Instruments
Blowing through bones, animal horns, and hollow branches is an activity connecting all of humanity in three universal tones. These tones create the tunes of our most basic human need...calling to one another, to our animals, signaling the sun set, making pronouncements, warning of danger, blessing unions and honoring grief...
Old Norse poetry names these tones, giant howlers of creation. Hear her bellow, the cosmic cow. Goat horns crack like the thunder they bring. Birds talk and we understand them. Staff rhythm pulses - the human director, making sense of chaos.
