Notes: (***) In 1975/6, all five members of Yes put out solo albums. Howe started work on his at the beginning of 1974 prior to the plan being decided that all the band members would record an album.

Moraz said in a 2006 interview for Notes for the Edge that Howe asked for an orchestration for "Beginnings" along the lines of Vivaldi. As Moraz says of the finished product, "Of course it didn't sound anything like Vivaldi, it sounded like Moraz." (MP/HP, 30 Jul 06)
