The Music

This was the soundtrack I listened to as I wrote the novel- each link takes you to rhapsody.com, where you can listen to the songs for free.

According to my playcount, I listened to most of these pieces 29 times while writing The Vespertine. But singled out is Piano Concerto, I. The Beach by Michael Nyman- I listened to that 114 times.
