"Supper's Ready" is a song by the band Genesis. A recorded version appeared on their 1972 album ''Foxtrot'', and the band performed the song regularly on stage for several years following this. Live versions appear on the albums ''Live at the Rainbow 1973, ''Seconds Out'' (recorded in 1977), the compilation ''Genesis Archive 1967-75'', and the box set ''Genesis Live 1973–2007''. A reworked version also appears on Steve Hackett's 2012 album ''Genesis Revisited II''. In an interview, Peter Gabriel summed up "Supper's Ready" as "a personal journey which ends up walking through scenes from Revelation in the Bible....I'll leave it at that."〔Peter Gabriel in radio interview on the programme "Rockline", 92.3FM KROCK, NYC, 16 June 1986.〕 ==Structure== :''See below for further details on each section of the song.'' Nearly 23 minutes in length, the song is divided into seven sections. A number of musical and lyrical themes do re-appear throughout. The melody of the verse in section I reappears as a flute melody between sections II and III. The melody of the chorus in section I reappears with new lyrics in the coda to section VI. The song that comprises the majority of section II reappears briefly in instrumental form at the beginning of section VI, and then returns to form the body of section VII, with new lyrics. One commentator regarded the structure of "Supper's Ready" as a variation of sonata form—a musicological analysis by Nors Josephson proposes that "section VII may be viewed as a Lisztian, symphonic apotheosis" of the "cyclical fanfares that originated in section II."〔Nors S. Josephson, "Bach Meets Liszt: Traditional Formal Structures and Performance Practices in Progressive Rock", ''The Musical Quarterly'', vol. 76 no. 1 (Spring 1992), pages 84-85.〕 On the other hand, the individual components of "Supper's Ready" are much closer to traditional rock songs than they are to classical pieces, even if they contain elements of both. As with many progressive rock suites, the song undergoes multiple changes in time signature, key signature, Leitmotif, instrumentation, and mood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Supper's Ready」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
