Hi Everyone,<br><br>I'm wondering if anyone can help me come up with examples of what I think of as the "Prog-rock Symphony" -- album-length, through-composed instrumental pieces suggesting some sort of classical influence, however vague.<br><br>For example, Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells," Zappa's "Grand Wazoo," or Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygene."<br><br>There are lots of examples with vocals; I'm happy to hear everyone's favorite instances, but I'm particularly interested in instrumental albums.<br><br>Thanks,<br>DT<br><br>Dmitri Tymoczko<br>Associate Professor of Music<br>310 Woolworth Center<br>Princeton, NJ 08544-1007<br>(609) 258-4255 (ph), (609) 258-6793 (fax)<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://music.princeton.edu/~dmitri">http://music.princeton.edu/~dmitri</a></span><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Smt-talk mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Smt-talk@societymusictheory.org"
