''Those Who Are About to Die Salute You - Morituri Te Salutant'' is the debut album by Colosseum, released in 1969 by Fontana. It is one of the pioneering albums of jazz fusion.〔Joynson, Vernon (1995). (''The Tapestry of Delights'' ). London: Borderline Books.〕 The title is a translation of the Latin phrase ''morituri te salutant'' that according to popular belief (but not academic agreement), gladiators addressed to the emperor before the beginning of a gladiatorial match. The album reached number 15 in the UK Albums Chart.〔(Colosseum chart history ), The Official Charts. Retrieved July 29, 2011.〕 ==Background== "Debut" is the very first song Colosseum ever played as a group.〔Hiseman, Jon (1969). In ''Those Who Are About to Die Salute You'' (notes ).〕 Tony Reeves later recalled that "() was actually a phrase that I remembered Mick Taylor playing with John Mayall, and I changed it a bit into a bass line. (the part. ) And then the band all joined in - this is what happens during rehearsals - so technically you should have everybody's name in the writing credit, including, I guess, Mick Taylor's!" 〔July 2003. (Interview with Tony Reeves ), Let it Rock.〕 "Mandarin" started from a series of sketches by Dave Greenslade based on a Japanese soft scale. Tony Reeves compiled the sketches into the main theme and arranged the song.〔 "Beware the Ides of March" borrows theme of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum〔Deram DM 126〕 and theme of the fugue of "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach,〔Bach BWV 565〕 earlier borrowing already from theme of the air of "Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major" by Bach.〔BWV 1068〕 Band also recorded "I Can't Live Without You" by Litherland, which was released on 2004 re-release as a bonus track. 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「Those Who Are About to Die Salute You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
