Canzon septimi toni (Giovanni Gabrieli, 1597)
This has some really interesting lines, would be very interesting as a Prog version.

Franz Schubert was the equivalent in his day of the pop songwriter. His two song cycles would have been early examples of concept albums - except of course he did not put them on albums, as they did not exist in his day.
I think this song, the first song in the Wintereisse suite, would sit well with many popular music lavers. Compare it for exampole with "Crossraods" from Don mcLean's album American Pie.
I've always felt Holst's Jupiter should be done as a prog piece. Zappa included a very brief excerpt of it in Call Any Vegetable, Yes also had an excerpt in The Prophet and Manfred Mann did some kind of variation of the piece. But no one has tried to tackle the entire composition in a way like ELPowell did with Mars.
Didn't King Crimson do a version of Jupiter on one of their own label releases?
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.

This is just begging for a cheesy Hammond/synths re-arrangement:

I recently heard that Frogg Cafe worked on a prog rock arrangement of this tune, but it never saw the light of day:
