How do we understand music's relationship with and representations of nature and the natural world in the United States of America's complex history of sucah terms? Much of the foundational literature of ecomusicology - a subfield studying a conjoining of musicology with ecology - has focused on a canonised corpus of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth European composers. Whilst these texts have revealed the importance of this intertwining to music's role within the development of nationalised (and nationalistic) cultural movements, their historical location has not presented a setting to engage with ecology in a contemporary context. There is also a pressing need to bring ecomusicological scholarship into conversation with other subfields in the environmental humanities which challenge the idea of a singular perspective of "nature" in the United States of America - how do the histories of redlining Black individuals and communities, or of the extensive theft of land from Native American tribes by European settlers, reframe a cultural concept that has often been construed in the White American imagination as providential and heavily influenced by Christian theology?

在美国复杂的历史中，我们如何理解音乐与自然和自然世界的关系和表现？生态音乐学——一个研究音乐学与生态学结合的分支领域——的大部分基础文献都集中在19世纪末和20世纪初的欧洲作曲家的经典语料库上。虽然这些文本已经揭示了这种交织对音乐在国家化（和民族主义）文化运动发展中的作用的重要性，但它们的历史位置并没有呈现出在当代背景下与生态学接触的环境。我们也迫切需要将生态音乐学的研究与环境人文学科的其他分支领域进行对话，这些分支领域挑战了对美利坚合众国“自然”的单一观点的看法——如何看待黑人个人和社区的历史，或欧洲定居者从美洲土著部落大量窃取土地的历史，在美国白人的想象中，这种文化观念常常被认为是天意的，而且深受基督教神学的影响。
