Any muso's fancy casting an NPOV eye over this article??? quercus robur 23:57 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Isn't this article better titled Renaissance (band)? Wshun

Yup - that's what seems to be done with other articles (Can (band) and Faust (band), for example). I'll move it. --Camembert 00:24 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)

There's a lot of POV stuff in this article. Needs a fairly heavy edit to remove bias. -- Lee M (Renaissance fan)

Re the original band: their first album was on Island in UK, not Elektra, and the second was only released in Germany. Re the second line-up, the original guitarist was Mick Parsons who died in a car crash the day before Prologue was recorded. Note also that very many musicians passed through in the early days. Incidentally, Annie Haslam has said that she never regarded Renaissance as a rock band. The (almost) original line-up reformed as Illusion, and released two albums.

[edit] classical tunes

I want to add two items to List of popular songs based on classical music: "Cold Is Being" (Adagio for Strings, by Albinoni) and "Going Home" (part of Symphony from the New World, by Dvořák) — but I don't know which album(s) they're on, and thus their dates. (One of them may be on Annie in Wonderland.) Anybody? —Tamfang 22:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

"Cold Is Being" is on "Turn of the Cards", and Going Home, according to this, is on Annie Haslam's solo album "Annie in Wonderland". --Yms 08:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thanks; done it. —Tamfang 18:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The opening of "Running Hard" on "Turn of the Cards" is Jehan Alain's "Litanies," a fairly well-known pipe organ piece.
