Madrigal (Yes song)

"Madrigal" is a song performed by progressive rock band Yes. It is featured as track number 3 in their 1978 album Tormato. The song was written by Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, and features an string arrangement made by Andrew Pryce Jackman, an original idea of Rick Wakeman.

Development

The song features a clavichord in its entireness and vocals made by Anderson. Being a quite artistic song, it does not match much with the rest of the album, due to its simplicity of just one instrument, minimum Synthesizer notes, a string arrangement just hearable in the end of every verse, and vocals. Songs such as Release, Release give Tormato the sound everybody was alike to hear of Yes albums.^[1]
