English Abstract

Cultural identity is a dynamic changeable process that is significantly associated with the natural ecosystem.

The biotic (human, animal, plant) and abiotic (air, water, soil) components of an ecosystem affect each other in an integrated cycle where the behavior of living organisms and their formation are reflected.

The relationship between music and cultural identity can be revealed within the framework of the ecosystem.

Accordingly, music is an essential part of identity process as it constructs human ideas, individual feelings and emotions, and contributes in forming different cultures.

Different types of music have either positive or negative effect on the surrounding environment.

Green Music as a clean and beneficial source positively affecting the environment has a major role in improving the cultural identity.

This new type of music encompasses classical music, meditation music and natural sounds such as those of birds, water and wind.

The nature of this music and its properties including melody, rhythm, mixture, tone color and sound intensity contribute in its positive impact on the environment.

It can reform the water molecules and improve its physical properties, promote the growth of plants and some vegetables as well as the yield of milk in cows, enhance human mood, memory and sports performance, relief human suffer, stress and pain, and support the intellectual social and personal development of children and young people.

Thus, the Green Music affects the cultural identity in an ecosystem that promotes the self-development and thinking skills of individuals and societies
