[Smt-talk] Looking for a chord progression

[Stephen Taylor]

I have a feeling this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but the first thing that popped into mind is the cadence from the Interlude in Stravinsky's Agon (bars 144-45). He's imitating the double leading-tone cadence, of course (even though the B doesn't move to C), and the Stravinskian passing tones, anticipations, etc. probably make it ineligible. But it's one of my favorite Stravinsky moments.

Chordal inversion of any or all of these chords is fine.  A transposition of the minor version (Cm: Cm-Bm-Cm) would also be acceptable, as would the last two-thirds of either progression.
