In Tyrol, women and children sing until their men respond from the hills.
In the mountains of Tyrol, it is the custom of the women and the children to come out, when it is sublime, and sing their national songs until they hear their husbands, fathers, or brothers answer them from the hills, or on their return home.
Music universally uplifts and accompanies labor across diverse cultures and lands.
MUSIC, Love of Music is universally appreciated and practised. The English ploughboy sings as he drives his team; the Scotch Highlander makes the glens and gray moors resound with his beautiful song; the Swiss, Tyrolese, and Carpathians lighten their labor by music; the muleteer of Spain cares little who is on the throne or behind it, if he can only have his early carol; the vintager of Sicily has his evening hymn, even beside the fire of the burning mount; the fisherman of Naples has his boat-song, to which his rocking boat beats time on that beautiful sea; and the gondolier of Venice still keeps up his midnight serenade. Dr. Cumming.
