Arena :Rossini's William Tell overture opening track from the live CD Welcome to the stage
Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe ; An evening of Yes music plus : I think the opening track of the first CD is from a classic opus " Benjamin Britten's young person's guide to the orchestra" but I may be wrong, it could be a tribute to Benjamin Britten ?

Höstsonaten ( Finisterre's offshot) on their eponym first Cd there is a tracl entitled Rime of ancient mariner lyrics by Samuel Taylor Coleridge ( 1772/1834) . Is it simply a text or does a piece of music exist?

Johansson Bjorn ( with Pär Lindh's help): Mozart ( two bars !) on Discus Unis Rhapsody

The Ancient Mariner has been set to music (Iron Maiden, Bedford (new age/rock), Newbury ('modern' classical), more I think), but the Hostsonaten version is a separate and excellent work.

The Maiden is just a 14 minute epic that talks about the poem. Like Rush's "Xanadu". There's no orchestration. They've got a song about Alexander the Great, etc also. Steve Harris (bassist) is a history buff.

They're one of the few hard rock acts that rarely sing about getting tail. Refreshing!
