The Listening Book and The Musical Life is about rediscovering the power of listening as an instrument of self-discovery and personal transformation. By exploring our capacity for listening to sounds and form making music, we can awaken and release our full creative powers. In this 2-CD audio edition of the classic book, W. A. Mathieu presents exercises designed to help you explore and expand your capacity for listening, appreciate the connection between sound, music, and every-day life, and discover the creative possibilities of music-making.
The audio material, first issued on cassette tapes in 1991, has been digitally remastered for release in 2008. In addition, this 2-CD package contains new material from The Musical Life, W. A. Mathieu's second book.
