supple radiance
life during day, at night time
cool as dusk shadows
The harmonic rhythm is mapped a little wonky in this analysis…follow it chord by chord best as possible! Bar lines are not measured exactly in time in some cases.

～春のプロローグ (Prolog Of Spring) |
Crescent floral scented streams trickle down fuzz touched leaves in the golden silhouette of sunset. The celestials sigh for the death of the day with hope for a pristine tomorrow.

A saunter in the step. Roots stretch, stems wriggle, churn and reach towards the sky. Buds bloom.

Lots of chord inversions in this one!

白鳥 (Le Cigne) |
Fresh activity and an elegant yet playful scent. Dimed roses and bunnies with ears held low. Center pond, a singular royal swan white as the winter just passed.
Opens with G to D pedal in the bass.
Opening melody is G, F#, B up to E, D down to G up to A. A note lands on A-7.
Guitar approximation for G major : xx9787
Guitar approximation for A-7 : xx10.9.10.8. Voiced on the 10th fret.

Return to top of form with some chromatic variations. End on G major pentatonic chord focusing on notes E, B and D! 12th fret harmonics work well here.

ユーモレスク (Humoreske) |
Unassuming bunnies frolicking, evolving to bar room chattering, to polishing their weapons for battle…to frolicking…to seeking out Light Gaia in dark space.

Synthy tag at the end vibes between C maj69 and Eb maj69! Left hand does root, 5th, octave, 9 upward to 3rd. Did we fall into Dark Space?

メヌエット (Minuetto) |
No formal transcription here, first section chords bounce around among A major, E major, and B7 thrown in there. This bit repeats. Next section turns to A- and throws in E7. Grateful for a straightforward piece! Listening throughout, I don’t hear any tricky sections.
Another synthy end tag! C major add 9 voiced like C G D E. D-9 voiced D A F E, then G major add9 voied G D A B.

ナチュラルサウンド&サウンドデザイン (Natural Sound & Sound Design) |
Liquid Air, summered gush of wind, humid night under flannel blankets of stars. Sweat mixed with tears. Countless indigo. Sighs that release burdens into clouds. An unsung knight.
||A-9/ F in bass | Bb maj7 | A-9/ F in bass | Bb maj7 | A-9 /F in bass ||
Piano comes in with F major 7, left hand pattern F C G A G A. Next chord is Bb maj7, left hand pattern F D A Bb A Bb. Pedal on the F in the bass is important here. The two chords repeat a little, followed by G-9, A-9 (to make it sound anime), D major then C major. Repeat.

四季より「春」第1楽章 (Spring 1stmov. from "Four Seasons") |
Didn’t go too deep with this one, E major… I IV V stuff. E major, A major, B major chords. Modulates to key of B major part way through…diminished passing chords here and there. Also modulates to relative minor (C# minor) when it gets spooky sounding!

愛の夢第3番 (Liebestraum) |
||: Ab maj | C7/ G in bass | F7 | Bb7 |
| Eb maj6 | Ab maj :|| During repeat, G in bass on C7 chord steps down chromatically getting that juicy F# passing tone.
|| E maj | Ab maj | F- | C maj |
| A- | E maj6 |Eb7 Emaj | Eb7 E maj | repeat this bit a little….
| C#-6 | Eb7b9 huge arpeggio spread, altered dominant scale? ||
Then modulates to B major, same chord formula as beginning. B maj… D#7/ A# in bass…G#7…C#7….F#7….resolve to B major. During the repeat, instead of Db7 its like-a Eb7 alt chord with G in the bass…then G sus which leads us tooooooo.
|| C maj | F- | C maj | A- |
| E maj | G#7/ D# in bass | D maj(?) | C#7 |
| F#7 |B7 E maj | Then some kind of chromatic fluttering all over the place, leading us back to Ab major, top of the form!
Cyber future synth, stacked 5ths. Thinking this is a C maj7#11b9, WOW. Hint of B, F# and C# stacked at the very top of the chord.
On guitar this will suffice, C major 7/G: 332000. BIG OL OPEN CHORD
There is one chord change to A-, same texture though, prolly just a bass note change. Then resolve on G major. WOOO!

Lydian synth 8), mouse is partyin.
Kay so we basically got vamp between C major and D major / C in the bass.
C major: x3201x
D major: x3403x
Getting that C and F# with the open G string in there, nice and jovial, rodent playfully going for that cheddar.
Lil keyboard melody: G up to C D E G F# A D…..A B G
Then modulate everything up a minor 3rd to Eb major. (Eb major and F major/ Eb in bass).

アイネ・クライネ・ナハトムジークより第1楽章 (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik 1stmov.) |
With vigor!! Mainly key of G major… chords are G major, C major, D7. Some G sus7 action happening that modulates to D major, eventually an A7 chord…then C major…E7…A-…D7. That’s a bite size version of what happens with this one.
