Sounds















• The high pitched shrill of a Ferrari engine on the radio as Italy anticipates the start of the Formula One season.
• The rumble of the tractor as it delivers hay.
• The snazzy tunes of old time jazz as the dinner guests, party of 11, enjoy their evening.
• The notes of John Coltrane as Maria recreates one of his pieces on her saxophone.
• The happy whistle of Gian-Luca as he works on the farm.
• The squeak of the metal crank on a wooden window as it opens for the first time letting in Spring.
• The gurgle of plumbing as someone upstairs flushes the toilet.
• The ding of competing church bells as the towns of Gotra and Buzzo announce the hour.
• The chop of an ax as a man splits firewood.

• The river running
• The fountain babbling
• The birds singing
• The leaves rustling
• The bees buzzing

• The squawk of chickens after Georgina the cat pulled rank and pounced.
• The groan of Brontola after a bull bullied her calf Mela-Stella in the paddock.
• The neigh of a stallion after unsuccessful pursuits of a mare in heat.
• The bark of a village dog after passing their domain.
• The scatter of a fleeing dog after approaching them.

• The call of Silence
• The reply of Stillness
