Renaissance - Prologue

Apparently I’ve only posted one Renaissance song to Tumblr since switching to Jotcamp. That needs fixing, so here’s the thundering titular track off of their 1972 record, Prologue.

Renaissance is a 70s progressive rock group with a serious classical bent. Lots of prog bands claim to have classical influences, but… Renaissance took a real stab at classical-rock fusion. Though they lasted into the eighties, they preferred actual string, horn, and woodwind sections to synthesisers, giving their music an epic sound and distinguishing [themselves] from contemporaries like King Crimson or Genesis.
