‘The only requirements for enjoying classical music are open ears and an open mind.’
Clemency Burton-Hill

An inspirational journal that will guide you through a year of music, from award-winning broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill. The musical pieces included in this journal have been extracted from her previous books, Year of Wonder and Another Year of Wonder.

From the author of the bestselling Year of Wonder series, this day-by-day journal will take you from January to December with classical music every day. Each piece, from medieval masterpieces to contemporary works, arrives with a brief introduction to the content and composer, along with plenty of space for you to listen, reflect and journal your thoughts. You’ll find 52 prompts, one for each week, encouraging you to set goals for your year, and integrate your reflections and experiences on your journey of self-discovery.

With beauty and inspiration on every page, this is another enlightening celebration of classical music by an author who wants to share its diverse wonders with others, whether complete novices or lifetime enthusiasts.

Clemmie's recommendations have broadened my mind, sharpened my imagination, tugged on my heartstrings and given me a song for every mood. Read this book and let yourself float away for a moment or two. What a gift.
