Outdoor Sun Themed Solar Wind Chimes
Whimsical wind chimes
Wind chimes have long been a fascination as we hear their charmed resonance tinkling in the distance or in our neighbor’s garden where the sound brings an eerie feeling of calm. Their origins are in ancient China where wind chimes were referred to as fengling and used in religious rituals until they were popularized worldwide as a harmonic sound to be revered in all kinds of surroundings. The first recordings of this musical magnet were found around 5,000 years ago through the discovery of artifacts made of bone, bamboo, and shells.
‘It is believed wind chimes were originally used to ward off evil spirits and protect crops in some parts of Asia’
They were also recognized for their safety net as a weather alarm and of course for their enchanting, mystical sound that inspires feelings of peace and tranquility. There are no chord sequences or musical notes in a session of wind chimes even though their resonance is melodic. Their haunting aria of esoteric draws us in as we feel lifted and deeply inspired. Wind chimes are percussive instruments that form a serene union with a breeze emitting the sounds we have come to know and love as messages from the Gods, sent to ease our troubled minds.
