Tyrrhenian Coast – The view from Ravello


This beautiful sea is the Tyrrhenian Sea seen from Ravello, Italy. I’ve never been there, but I was so enchanted by this photo that I wanted to make a song about the relaxing spring sea of Ravello.

The Mediterranean in photos is always blue and warm. It’s the longing sea of mine, but I didn’t know that the western sea of Italy was named Tyrrhenian. From this photo, I knew the name Tyrrhenian, and now I know the names Balearic, Ligurian, Ionian and Adriatic too. The sea that the average Japanese knows is the Aegean Sea at most. As a fan of the Mediterranean, I’m happy to know it better.


To make the video for YouTube, I looked for 3 more photos which match this song well, and the found are all the view from Ravello. So I added “The view from Ravello” as the subtitle of this song. This may allow me to make the other song about the Tyrrhenian Sea someday.

This song has almost no difficult parts, so I can play it with all my heart, and enjoy the atmosphere of the Tyrrhenian Sea, where I’ve never been.
