about

“Icarus” has been the Consort’s theme song since 1970, when Ralph Towner composed it for them. They’ve played it a thousand times but never tire of it - a tribute to Ralph’s extraordinary gift as a composer. This recording is from the Consort’s performance at the United Nations on World Environment Day, 1984. Oscar Castro-Neves’ guitar here adds a touch of Brazilian flavor, implicitly felt in Ralph’s original arrangement.
