The opening notes of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring sound like an awakening to a folklike morning filled with spiritual rituals and feasts. It’s largely unmistakeable to a niche aesthetic lifestyle of flower crowns and simple living. I recall a scene from Midsommar (2019) that opens up more to the scenery and setting of the film that I feel is important with the music in how it functions with the setting it is in.
