Ballet For A Girl In BuchannonBallet For A Girl In Buchanon (aka The Ballet), a nearly 15-minute song cycle/suite from Chicago's 1970 album Chicago II, is the group's first attempt at a long-format multi-part work. It was composed by James Pankow, who got the inspiration to write the "Ballet" from his love of long classical music song cycles. "Ballet", which takes up three-quarters of side two of "Chicago II", consists of seven tracks, three of which are instrumentals. The final track, "Now More Than Ever", is a single-verse reprise of the suite's opening song, "Make Me Smile". The vocal songs within the suite can be viewed as telling the story of a man searching for a far away lost love and attempting to rekindle the love they had shared. Single edits of both "Make Me Smile/Now More Than Ever" and "Colour My World" became top-10 hits. The suite was recorded as a single track, titled "The Ballet", on their live album Chicago XXVI in 1999. - "Make Me Smile"
- "So Much To Say, So Much To Give"
- "Anxiety's Moment" (instrumental)
