Whole Notes (2CD)

How can we pause long enough to repair ourselves? How can we make space and time in our lives to become whole? Ed Ayres, the beloved presented of Weekend Breakfast on ABC Classic, explores these questions in his new book, Whole Notes: Life Lessons through Music.

Through music – learning music, listening to music, being open to music – we know ourselves more intimately, more honestly, and more clearly. With every note, music offers us a hand to the beyond. This album is a musical companion to Whole Notes: a 2CD collection of musical treasures explored by Ed in his book.
