Novella

by Renaissance

Novella cover art

Featuring sprawling, multi-part compositions enriched by lush orchestral arrangements, 'Novella' is a pristine example of classical-infused progressive rock. Annie Haslam's crystalline, operatic vocal delivery soars above dramatic piano motifs and intricate acoustic guitar work. Released during the aggressive rise of punk rock in their native Britain, the album found its most receptive audience among dedicated progressive rock audiences in North America.
