Circle of Fifths — a harmonic sequence: the opening bars as grafer engraved them
The notation, exactly as grafer engraved it from the graph.

How it is built

Circle of Fifths — the canonical descending-fifths harmonic sequence (I IV vii° iii vi ii V I) generated by the Harmonic Sequence node with sevenths, then voiced in four parts (inversions off so the stepwise bass survives). Try the Sequence dropdown, the Real / Applied-dominant toggles, or the SATB node's Parallels option.
