Managed to finally get all the missed issues of a music magazine that I subscribe to. Hope that none of you have as much trouble getting your magazines.
It is interesting reading some of the articles: Apparently ice cream maker Frank Frederick of Lancashire, England is resurrecting the secret, century-old gelato recipe that has been passed down through the family for generations-singing to the cows before milking. Frederick's grandfather Antoniao Federici, believed music helped the cows produce creamier milk.
Last summer Frederick invited Italian tenor Marcello Bedoni to serenade his Friesian cows at Cockshotts Farm near Clitheroe, Lancashire, in a series of concerts where the bovine bunch heard "Amore ti vieta", by Umberto Giordano, and "E lucevan le stelle," by Giacomo Puccini.
"The cows will enjoy the recital and this will be reflected in the quality of the milk they produce for us. The passion of the music will be reflected in the product," says Frederick.
Hayley Campbell-Gibbons, dairy adviser to the National Farmers' Union says, "Soothing sounds or music can reduce stress and induce relaxation and a healthy, contented cow is likely to produce more milk, and anything that enhances that can only be a good thing."
Wow, wonder if it will work. Do you think that the cows enjoy the music or just the relaxed atmosphere?
