Bringing together historical sources and contemporary experiences to explore the interplay between singing, sociality, body, and meaning in the English landscape over the last century, this work explores the connections between air and song and between singing and movement, through the context of the early 20th century open-air recreation movement. The authors argue that outdoor singing has been part of co-constructed soundscapes of the modern English leisure landscape, and ask what this meant for those who participated in collective open-air singing and rambling. They explore how open-air singing connected with conceptions of the countryside, with a sense of fellow-feeling, and how this might have both reified and challenged normative ways of being in landscapes.
