And here we are, full circle! My first Genesis vid was the FoF intro and now, finally, I've gotten around to completing the whole piece :)

The main thing to be aware of is that apart from the intro and the gentle bit before the (build up to the) keyboard solo, FoF was definitely NOT written in a way such that it could be played relatively easily as a piano piece (unlike, say, Mad Man Moon, Anyway, The Lamia etc.) :)
This transcription is my interpretation of how I believe the overall sound of the piece translates to solo piano in much the same way that Massimo Bucci's superb rendition (https://youtu.be/EDJ2GSthOfg) is his own interpretation.

A caveat though: I don't play the piece EXACTLY as I've scored it out.
What I've done is to simplify what I play as much as possible without, hopefully, taking away the essence of my own style of playing and the original beauty of the song.
Feel free to adjust how you play it to suit your own style :)

The verses. I'm sure many of you will spot that the melody of the score matches the playback only for the first verse ("The path is clear") but not for the other 2 full verses ("He rides majestic" & "Now as the river") simply because I use repeat bars for these 3 verses.
However, the audio is pretty accurate so you can hopefully hear how my accompaniment interweaves with the original vocal line.

Bars 42-48. It took quite a while to come up with something that I feel really combines the vocal, guitars & Mellotron.
In particular, bars 47 & 48 may seem a little unusual, but the chords implied by my notes (and written above) are what Tony plays on the Mellotron (Esus2 contains the same notes as Bsus4) and I like the slight harmonic tension that these chords have with the arpeggiated guitar :)
The effect is even more noticeable on the Genesis Archive version - https://youtu.be/BLe0smh3Zq4?t=519 - than on the original...
