Here I share my transcription of the song "Beautiful as the Moon, Terrible as an Army with Banners" and my thoughts on this brilliant composition. There was so much to say about this one that I kinda just had to hit the ground running without full explanation of the devices used (the video would have been twice as long!!). Terms for further study: Pedal tone, Minor line cliche, Olivier Messiaen, Additive rhythm, Lydian mode, Slash chord.
