As I write this post, there are female Blue Tits sitting in the tree outside demanding to be fed by their mates. They make this demand by a particular series of notes - which is meaningful to the male. I only mention this because it's easy to think of meaning requiring human consciousness, or something very much like it - which it doesn't.

Well, in your example we do have a living consciousness. It's not human, but it's closer to us than a rock. Does music exist to a rock?
