"It’s always a good occasion ‘round these parts when a package from Flowinglass Music shows up in the mailbox and once again, that’s the case. The 3rd in a series from Celtic/Early music group Broceliande, this one celebrates the season of autumn and the harvest. Capturing the feel of that time of year, Margaret Davis (harp, vocals), Karl Franzen, Kristoph Klover & Kris Yenney meld their traditional instruments and vox nicely. Listen to 'The Barley Corn','The Magpie' or 'Three Ravens.' Great stuff linking the importance of harvest time through the years with its expression in music." -- Chaos Realm

'If your tastes run towards madrigal treatments of old English folk songs, check out the autumnal selections from Broceliande.' --Sing Out

'The San Francisco Bay quartet Broceliande celebrates the autumn harvest season on Barley Rigs, which is a follow up to previous releases from the group that featured songs of winter and spring. The 16 selections draw from British, French, and early-American tradition dating back to the 12th century, variously saluting the harvest ('The Band o’ Shearers'), autumn romance (Robert Burns’ 'Corn Rigs'), and, of course, fermented beverages ('The Barley Corn'), along with an occasional dark and moody song like 'Three Ravens' and two instrumentals that include a stately Bach suite arranged for cello, Celtic harp, oboe, and bouzouki. With four amiable voices and a broad instrumental mix that includes a number of other fretted and wind instruments, Broceliande presents a warm antidote for the gathering autumnal gloom.” --Dirty Linen
