A sample from the new five-minute chapter score. The complete 34-track collection is included after purchase verification.
Included at no extra charge with either edition. Listening access follows purchase verification.
Stay with the sorrow.
Slow, falling phrases give heartbreak room to linger. The quieter passages have their own intensity: intimate, aching and unresolved.
Follow the light.
Warmer harmonies welcome tenderness and hope. Even on this windswept moor, the music makes room for warmth.
Created for the story, scene by scene. Five movements trace each chapter’s events in order. Piano, strings, woodwinds and brass carry its emotional turns, from quiet unease to dramatic peaks. Smooth transitions connect the movements into a five-minute suite.
Your chapter. Your pace. Press Play and let the selected track repeat while you read, or play all 34 in order. The music follows the story’s sequence; your reading sets its own pace. No lyrics, narration, download or separate music app required.
For eligible Amazon purchases, follow our purchase-verification instructions for private listening access. Earlier eligible Lulu purchases remain supported.

From the pages
A landscape
with a voice.
Wind presses against the house. A branch taps at the glass. Twelve contemporary illustrations draw their details from Brontë’s chapters and appear near the passages they depict.

Wuthering Heights
Chapter I
1801—I have just returned from a visit to my landlord—the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist’s Heaven—and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I announced my name.
