Pastoral

A genre of classical music that evokes the peaceful, idyllic beauty of rural life, pastoral music is often associated with the countryside and outdoor activities. Composers of pastoral music often use gentle, flowing melodies and soft, delicate instrumentation, such as flutes, harps, and strings, to create a sense of tranquility and serenity. The music is often used in film and television to underscore scenes of nature, relaxation, and contemplation.
