What chords chords does David Crosby use on HOMEWARD THROUGH THE HAZE
in the Wind On the Water album?
In this same album, can anyone tell me what music influenced Nash and
Crosby in the writing CRITICAL MASS (just before the album title track).
(Short but brilliant mass sung by Crosby and Nash).
Thanks in advance
William

I can't tell you what the chords to Homeward Through the Haze
are, but they wrote Critical Mass about the possibility of the
extinction of dolphins and whales, and that possibility may be
reaching "Critical Mass". The structure of the many vocal parts
is very similar to the sung masses of old. (Gregorian Chant?)
The 1973?, while on tour promoting the album, a recording of
the song was played to a video of whales, dolphins, and other sea
life on a large screen raised behind the band. As the recorded
acapella segment of the song ended, the band resumed seamlessly
into Wind on the Water as the screen retracted and the stage lights
came up.

Thanks for your answer. Critical Mass and Wind on the water join
seamlessly on the album too. I don't think the a capella chant is
Gregorian influenced since Gregorian chant is non polyphonic. It must
have another source.
Thanks
