I'm looking for an accurate description of the harmonic progression and scales of that peculiar song from procol harum (a little gem IMO...as far as I can judge)

the scales progression being crucial, the chords themselves less but of course appreciated

thanks in advance folks

:pray: 8)

thank you ...what I noticed is the complexity of all the altering tonalities in this song (and all in all , in PH compositions in general) ...so if I expect to make a arrangement including polyphonic resonances or anything similar, I'd need to stay accurate with these successive tonalities ?

You have to look at different voicings which make a huge difference.

I just listened to this C, F, C and G progression and how wonderful it sounded.
- then look exactly how he voices those chords
- makes all the difference and where the tonality is created
- you sometimes leave notes out, to use in another octave and similar
- I did not watch key change and transition so much, just the voicings of the basic progression

I have all to learn on that subject, but the few I'm failing in is getting terribly emotional, soooo beautiful !!!!
