  it understand harmony or know melody? Can nature sing? During the ear
 ly 19th century, many inventors and acousticians were fascinated by th
 e idea of harnessing natural tones. The idea that music and nature are
  closely bound is an ancient one that stretches back to the Harmony of
  the Spheres. The “nature music” of this period, however, was unde
 rstood not as silent mathematical proportions, but rather as actual so
 und: beautiful, ethereal tones that were thought to linger from a prel
 apsarian time. Musicologist Emily I. Dolan explores the attempts to or
 ganize and control the voice of nature with new, and often fantastical
 , instruments.\nEmily I. Dolan is Associate Professor of Music at the 
 University of Pennsylvania. She specializes in eighteenth- and ninetee
 nth-century musical culture; in particular she is interested in the in
 tersections between the histories of music, science, and technology. H
 er first book, The Orchestral Revolution: Haydn and the Technologies o
 f Timbre (Cambridge University Press) was published last year.\n\nFor
