A Windham Hill Collection: Instrumental Inspiration for Daily Living

"David Darling, the 'Lord of Largo,' returns with another album of slow-motion melodies and cello textures..."

- John Diliberto

The remastered reissue of the long out-of-print original album of humpback whale songs that have touched the hearts of millions of people around the world.

Original compositions by sax and pipe organ, based on melodies by the humpback whales themselves.  Leonard Nimoy narrates from "Moby Dick" and the poetry of D. H. Lawrence, Gary Snyder and Roger Payne, giving voice with the same deep feeling for whales that inspired his story for the film STAR TREK IV.
