The Coexistence of Humans and Nature: A Sheet Music Story

By Stacey M. Hollis

November 20, 2014

Music truly takes flight in this stop-action video. Beautiful penmanship will entrance you as the bodiless hand sketches out notes along a never-ending bar of sheet music. As the notes march across the screen, they form into flying birds. But then power lines appear, then buildings and cars. The musical bars carry out a progression of time and map out the characteristics of human development punctuated by flowers and birds aloft. The mixture of humanity and nature continues until finally, a beautiful tree manifests. At the end, a trail of musical leaves presents the true aim of this lovely little video, quiet and clear.
