“[An] erudite and thought-provoking collection of essays. Mathieu
more than accomplishes his goal of showing us many different ways
of appreciating and listening to music.”—Spirituality &
Practice
"Like his previous two books, Bridge of Waves is written in an
informal, chatty style that makes clear the dynamics of music and
the transformative power it has on the individual as listener or as
performer.”—New Age Retailer
"Mathieu's lively and delightful essays lead you to question what
music is, how it works, and what it's for.”—Branches of Light
