"When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of
Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting
watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan's Cathedral. In twentieth-century society,
the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out
of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our
ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live
in a highly complex environment."

-Steven Halpern
leading composer and recording artist of music for relaxation, wellness and
"sound health"
