This song is classy but not quite classical.....
 
It's the epic Classical Crossover song "Running" from my favourite soprano: Sarah Brightman! Thumbs Up

Some improvisational jazz pieces clock in at well over 10 min ... like some versions of Miles Davis “Shhh ... Peaceful”

A couple of old psychedelic soul classics come to mind (the full album versions):

Chamber Brothers "Time Has Come Today"
The Temptations "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"

There's a lot of classic rock and jam band songs(Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead for example)that are over ten minutes long. My time of dying by Led Zeppelin is ten minutes long. I doubt many people would say that's prog. Tongue Probably the most famous example I can think of though is "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. It's 20 minutes long but usually considered psych and not prog(not even really proto prog imo).

American Pie by Don Mclean comes to mind. But that's it. Confused

A lot of long songs in doom metal for example, relying on atmosphere. Very enjoyable IMO, but not progressive.

Do you know any song which would last more than 10 minutes and have some defined parts?

An example would be Flight by Peter Hammill, some say that it isn't fully prog but it has movements and last actually almost 19 minutes.
So don’t evade the surgeon’s blade
Cos the answer could be in your mind
Maybe one cut and we’ll find
We’re just a wavelength behind

But we are entwined

And I know what you need
