from Oannes blog…
Σύνθεση του οργανίστα Matthew Fisher, από το “θαλασσινό” άλμπουμ των Procol Harum. Ο τίτλος παραπέμπει στο ποίημα του Henry W. Longfellow [1842]. Το στιγμιότυπο της συνύπαρξης ροκ γκρουπ – συμφωνικής ορχήστρας παραμένει αξεπέραστο.

Composition of the organist, Matthew Fisher, from the “sea” album of Procol Harum. The title refers to Henry W. Longfellow [1842] poem. The coexistence of the rock band and the symphonic orchestra remains unsurpassed.

Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!

Yes, that was quite a production. Pro cal Harum used some interesting melodies.
They did!!! 🙂
Loved this piece. Really intrigued by the video to it too! Is that from a commercial movie?
Beautiful piece… I’m not sure whether it was an ‘official’ video by the band, however the scenes are from Terry Gilliam’s film, “Adventures of Baron von Munchausen”.
Ah! Of course! Brilliant ❤️

I saw Procul Harum a long time ago. They didn’t play this song, as I recall. But, they played many other compositions that marked them as unique in that era of rock.
…and unique they were indeed! 🙂 Must have been a great experience!
