Consort guitarist Ralph Towner wrote this song for our 1971 album Icarus. Now, with Theresa, 50 years later, we've recorded it for the second time.

Concert in the Barn was inspired by the long tradition of solstice celebrations by Paul Winter and his colleagues at New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine. With the Cathedral closed for performances during the pandemic, the cathedralesque loft of Paul Winter's barn served as a grass-roots alternative to playing in the world's largest cathedral, and it is in this barn they held their annual Summer Solstice Celebration. Concert in the Barn is comprised of recordings from the 26th Annual Summer Solstice Celebration. The album embraces the gamut of genres that Paul Winter's solstice celebrations have been known for, interweaving instrumental adventures with songs sung by Theresa Thomason and Jeff Boratko.
