Hey,

What's some music with great crescendo/climax sequences?

How about some Gustav Holst?

(Mars tends to be performed with one hell of a crescendo)

Also, I can't omit a personal favorite - King Crimson's "Starless", a 12-minute ballad which spends its final 8 minutes as a buildup starting around single-note sequences.

The Beatles' a day in the life sports a pretty spectacular one right at the end, so does David Bowie's Life on Mars.

- Alfred Reed's "Russian Christmas Music"

- Gavin Greenaway's "Reflections of Earth" (you may know this from the new <i>IllumiNations</i> show at <s>EPCOT Center</s> Epcot in Walt Disney World, or from Disney's <i>Millennium</i> album)

And to answer the subject line, no, but I've heard that Mr. T can.

I think you've already heard them, but Ayreon's "Day 20: Confrontation" and Pain of Salvation's "Iter Impius" both have amazing crescendos. Unfortunately I can't think of any more right now.

Hey requiett can you please name more? Even if they are "obscure / impossible-to-find shit."

Pretty sure when I climax I scream notes no one has yet to decode on a general scale.

They've been decoded, but we've yet to arrange a table and graph to properly place them in since they only exist in a 9 dimensional theory at the moment.
