Search - Paul Winter Consort :: Earth Music

Throughout several decades of our Consorts journey, the most perennial question we have been asked has been: What do you call your music? Earth Music has been the response I have most often given, as that term embraces the totality of our field of play, as well as our long-going aspirations to celebrate the cultures and creatures of the whole Earth. I feel it is time to put forth the answer in music, in the form of an album. Here are pieces which celebrate the Grand Canyon, the Old Growth Forest of the Northwest, the ocean, the moon, and our star, the sun, with its quad-zillions of dancing particles. Consorting with us are representative voices of the greater symphony of the Earth, including Spotted Owl, Humpback Whale, African Fish Eagle, and Timber Wolf. And no album or concert to me is complete without an offering from the great mentor of our Consort heritage, Johann Sebastian Bach, whose music awakens in me a resonance with the soul of life. We have been blessed to have had many opportunities and adventures over the years, and to have been able to pursue our mission of creating music of beauty in the service of the community of all life. Thank you for listening. For living music, Paul Winter
