A Symphony of Whales
Most pop songs average three minutes, but what about whale songs? Like a symphony, Humpback whale songs may last 20-30 minutes. Learn about whales and their encounters with humans. Listen to a true tale of 3,000 whales trapped in the arctic, rescued by Eskimos and classical music. Hear Steve's unforgettable "Whale Trilogy (.mp3)" - a solo violin piece played with these mysterious songs of the deep. Includes a signed copy of Steve's award-winning book, A Symphony of Whales. We also recommend visiting An Author's Interview. |

Songs & Tales of the Earth  Celebrate
nature in all its diversity. Songs about endangered wildlife and habitats...
tales of the ancient yew trees... a musical tribute to the rainforests...
even the wood of Steve's 200-year-old violin has stories to tell.
This popular program encourages wonder and respect for the natural
world. With advance planning, it can tie in with school themes such
as Earth Day, ocean and rainforest units, etc. Let Steve know of any
special requests! Features many of the songs from his Circle
of Days and Trees of Life recordings.
