GIANT FOR ANOTHER HOUR by Various Musicians Inspired by Gentle Giant

"A tongue-in-cheek tribute to Gentle Giant that parodies their style, sound, song titles, and other idiosyncrasies (including a Minnear-style vocal and two brief musical quotes)."

An instrumental rendition is on Adam’s 2006 CD "A Different Page"— info at www.differentdrummusic.com.

Glen Burg [Canada]

A Farewell [20] (Burg)

"First (and only) recorded version ever, back in my university dorm room in 1997. It’s all me (including my uncle’s homemade plywood mandolin), although I received help from Nathael Babineau for the piano track— he gave me access to the piano room, held the mic as I played, then suggested that the piano fade after the other parts. That last input transformed the track as I see it. Thanks Nat."

Giantiques Arranged and Produced by Dan Bornemark

Giantique Giant [13] (Shulman, Shulman, Shulman, Minnear)

“Based on the ‘Giant’ theme, it draws inspiration from ‘Proclamation’ and “Living in a Restaurant.”

Giantique Quartet [5] (Shulman, Shulman, Minnear)

“The cello plays the ‘Glass House’ riff the viola the “Betcha Thought’ riff. Violin 1 plays the ‘I remember’ melody from ‘On Reflection.’ ‘Violin 2 plays A Reunion’ for a couple of bars. The organ is just a Swedish ghost.”

Giantique Aspire [19] (Minnear)

"'Aspirations,' 'Talybont,' and a bit from ‘Schooldays.’ Percussion inpired by the beatbox sounds from 'Winning'."

Giantique for a Day [10] (Shulman, Shulman, Minnear)

"'Proclamation' bass riff 'Pantagruel’s Nativity' tambourine, and an inversion of 'Just the Same' at the end."

The Prince and The Fox [17] (Kowalski)

Darek Mankowski: violin

"An excerpt from a work based on ‘The ‘Little

Prince,’ this grew out of sketches which didn’t quite want to evolve into full-scale pieces.

This arrangement underscores the classical elements, but there are many parts that dip into

progressive rock.” Copyright © ‘David Kowalski.
