Description: The only requirements for enjoying classical music are open ears and an open mind. Classical music for everyone - an inspirational piece of music for every day of the year, celebrating composers from the medieval era to the present day, written by award-winning violinist and BBC Radio 3 presenter Clemency Burton-Hill. Have you ever heard a piece of music so beautiful it stops you in your tracks? Or wanted to discover more about classical music but had no idea where to begin? Year of Wonder is a unique celebration of classical music by an author who wants to share its diverse wonders with others and to encourage a love for this genre in all readers, whether complete novices or lifetime enthusiasts. Clemency chooses one piece of music for each day of the year, with a short explanation about the composer to put it into context, and brings the music alive in a modern and playful way, while also extolling the positive mindfulness element of giving yourself some time every day to listen to something uplifting or beautiful. Thoughtfully curated and expertly researched, this is a book of classical music to keep you company: whoever you are, wherever you're from. Playlists are available on most streaming music platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. Waterstones Year of Wonder: Classical Music for Every Day - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: I love this book and this classical music journey. I work in a high stress environment and have been reading the passages and listening to the music every day at coffee break time. Yesterday, a colleague came in as I was listening to the daily piece and was really intrigued. The music reminded him of his travels. So we both gained from it. I have not disliked any of the music so far and know that I will have a lovely journey through music this year. Thank you Clemency Burton- Hill!

Review: I love this book, not quite as Jon Snow " I know nothing" but a fabulous guide to composers I haven't heard of or wouldn't normally listen to, not every choice is a treat, some are hard work and don't appeal at all! my 4 stars might seem mean but a link to each piece would have been nice, but I do understand that was probably a 'rights' nightmare. You Tube is a great resource.
