We all know the Pastoral Symphony of Beethoven,  Mendelssohn\\u2019s  Hebrides Overture inspired by Fingal\\u2019s Cave, and the  music by Vaughan Williams inspired by the English countryside.  But in  the modern era,  the urban environment is inspiring many composers to  capture its sounds in music.
