Name of the Song : Clavicula Nox (translates to english as "Key of the Night" I believe)
Name of the Band : Therion


Structure of the Song :

- Intro
- Verse 1
- Chorus
- Verse 2
- Chorus
- Interlude
- Solo
- Pre Outtro
- Outtro


The song has a weird feeling. It is neither deprecating or radiating happiness. I am not sure about the literal meaning of the song's name but It definitely feels like "night". Let's talk about what's going on.

Intro:
A variation of main riff(I'm not sure about "riff" truly compensates the meaning) is played, giving a little glimpse about the rest of the song.

Verse 1:
After hearing the main riff, first verse begins. The singer is mezzo-soprano of female voice, main riff is going on through verses.

Chorus:
Chorus is truly the signature of Symphonic Metal. A choire sings with backing of electric guitar.

Verse 2:
Same as Verse 1 with difference in lyrics.

Interlude:
After the second chorus, It wouldn't be wrong if we were to say rest of the song is instrumental. We can separate interlude to 2 phases; first part is a sequence of arpeggio played by electric and backed by symphonic intruments, second part is a beautiful symphony music.

Solo:
Guitar solo of the song, but given the instrumental structure of the second-half of the song I would consider the solo as a just another part of the song.

Pre-Outtro:
This part serves as a bridge to the outtro.

Outtro:
In my opinion this is the climax of the song. The melody revealed in the pre-outtro is played here with backing of electric guitar. All the undertow built through the song is brought to the surface with the excellent harmony of symphonic and metal instruments.


Theory:

All I can say here is main chord progression:
Emadd9 - C - A#7M - B

The theory eludes me for now. I even got the chord progression with the help of guitar pro's chord widget.


Here it is Gab, as you asked. It is bit late, sorry about that.
