<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>"Awaken" from <I>Going for the One </I>by Yes seems to be a good one-stop shop for such things, particularly since the song's multiple and complete ic5 cycles are grouped in various ways that project shorter, embedded cycles (e.g. in the sixth minute or so, when the ic5 idea first emerges, the bass employs an complete ic3 sequence, and some treble voices can be heard to delineate an ic2 trajectory). But there’s a lot more going on in this song regarding such things than my brief description suggests.<BR>
