Inner Peace for Busy People; music to relax and renew
Here's a compilation for solace in a crazy world. Music, as the studies ofDon G. Campbell(author ofThe Mozart Effect) have shown, not only soothes the savage breast, but can be used to enhance well-being and even intelligence. Campbell and Joan Borysenko have compiled the anthology found onInner Peace for Busy People: Music to Relax and Renew(a companion to Borysenko's bestselling book,Inner Peace for Busy People).  Inspirational examples include the soothing "Berceuse" of Fauré; moments of transcendent beauty from Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin; a sprightly concerto by Baroque composer Tomaso Albinoni; and Vaughan-Williams's vision of pastoral serenity,The Lark Ascending. Inspirational comments accompany each track, but there is no mention anywhere of the performers or sources for these selections.--Sarah Chin
