Tones of Tranquility CD
Tones of Tranquility is a CD of chorales (hymn tunes) composed between 1524 and 1793.
When I gave of a copy of this CD to a friend who had suffered a heart attack a couple of years ago,
his second comment (after "This is beautiful!") was "This is just what cardiac rehab people need!"
He then recounted all the sessions he had undergone to learn various relaxation techniques
and the various music that was played in the background during those sessions.
He told me that Tones of Tranquility would be ideal for relaxation sessions.
I gave a copy to some other friends and their two sons use the CD to help them fall asleep at night!
The beauty of these old chorales has served people for up to 479 years and the music is just as effective today as when it was written.

This music was recorded by entering the music into the old DOS notation program MusicPrinterPlus from Temporal Acuity Products, Inc. Then I had MusicPrinterPlus play the music through a Kurzweil K2000 synthesizer, using several different vocal patches. The output from the Kurzweil was recorded through a Fostex 260 Multitrack recorder.
The price of this CD is $15.00US, which includes shipping to anywhere in the United States and Canada.
Shipment to other countries will require an additional $3.00US shipping fee to cover the extra postage necessary.
