Hi all

A work mate of mine is starting up her own work from home business as a massage therapist.
She asked me if I could make up some discs for her with some "classical" relaxing music for her to play in her treatment room. When she asked this the only thing I could think of relating to classical music was Vivaldi -the four seasons

I have managed to find her some nice soothing tunes by Enya but if any of you know of any music that would be good for this kind of thing then please please help me out!!!!

Here are a couple to start off with:

You'll probably get loads more when Janet, Olly, OG etc. get online!

You could even go to youtube and try a few out for yourself!

The most relaxing classical music ever is the piano trio movement in E flat 'Notturno' by Schubert. It lasts ten minutes, and you never want it to end.

And Four Impromtus, D899 (Op. 90); Four Impromtus, D935 (Op 142); Six Moments Musicaux, D780 (Op 94) by Schubert.

I'm a massage therapist (amongst other things) and would say you have to be careful with classical music as it is changeable (and highly emotional).

For example you may have someone in a completely relaxed state only for the tranquil music to change dramatically in the middle (tempo for example) which changes the clients emotional state.

I adore the Four Seasons by Vivaldi but the four very different seasons mean it would not be suitable for an hour of massage therapy.

Sal has come up with two lovely tracks and to be honest the place I have found my best music is from ebay and, surprisingly, from compilations you find on the shelves in, say, Tesco. For example Four chill out CD's for £3.99, that kind of thing.

My CD's are en route to Tenerife so I can't read you off some of my titles but I hope you get where I am coming from.

Not really classical, but Gothic Voices by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen can be very relaxing, somewhat spoiled by Janet shouting turn that cr.p off in the background, but there we are.

Mozart piano sonatas can be very relaxing, especially the later ones such as Sonata in D, KV 311; C, KV 330; A, KV 331; C, KV 545; B flat, KV 570; D, KV 576.

I do, thanks was not sure of the four seasons as if i remember right think maybe the winter one goes bit too mad!!so to speak will pass everything on to her that I find out and try and make her up at least one decent cd. x


will try and listen for Janets input

I quite agree. Classical music is usually intended to stimulate, not relax. The relaxing parts are contrasted with the stimulating ones, so you mix the stimuli. Not really what you want for background relaxing music, so you have to pick and choose very carefully. The slow movements of the above Mozart sonatas are relaxing, but the others not necessarily so.
