Winter Music is a collection of essays, journals and other writings by John Luther Adams. The book includes a CD with three previously unrecorded works.
"Adams' writing is clear and bright and lucid; it fascinates and illumines. This is the best music book I've read for a long time."

–  Rupert Loydell, Tangents
"Like the composer's best music, the statement continues to resonate long after the work itself is finished."

–  Ken Smith, The Gramophone
“This book is a testament to the awesome spiritual and creative power of nature, and of how Adams has borne witness to this in his artistic life.”

– Stephanie Moore, Musicworks
"Adams writes like a poet; his words evocating the same spare landscape that he captures in his music..."

– Sequenza 21
"...its implications extend far beyond the institutionalized realm of avant-garde music..."

– Daniel M. Grimley, Music and Letters
"... this intrepid composer's deep knowledge of the North... and his unusual articulacy ... make the fascinating Winter Music ... well worth a tenderfoot's explanation."

– Ann Stapleton, New Pages
