Noting the calls of the wild

Stuck inside?

What about some sounds of nature to transport you out and away? The whistling of a nightingale. The howl of a gray wolf. The kazoo-like calls of emperor penguins.

To keep his ear trained during a COVID-19 lockdown, French-German composer Alexander Liebermann began transcribing sounds of the animal kingdom into sheet music that he posts online. (National Geographic)

His collection began with animals: the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus), Coqui (Eleutherodactylus coqui), Cicada (Cicada orni), Piano improvisation of a Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and Bull Elk (Cervus canadensis).

Here’s the link to the gray wolf.

Liebermann has also added birdsongs and songs from the sea.
