Fireballet - Night on Bald Mountain (Mussorgsky)

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Sting - Russians (Prokofieff)

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Stuart Hamm - Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven)

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Miles Davis - Concierto de Aranjuez (Rodrigo)

If you include songs that life classical then Yes' "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed," "Astral Traveller," and most of Tales is classically derived. Lot of Stravinsky.

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Thanks Yesspaz!!! As for the other suggestions: "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed" - composer R. Havens & "Astral Traveller" - J. Anderson.
The thing is... that I don't think "classically derived" will work, for in that case... all ELP or Trace discography will easely fit in! I want to keep the compilation in the "cover" area, and not in an "influences" one... Thanks again!!!

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Beggars Opera - Light Cavalry (Suppe)
Beggars Opera - Poet And Peasant (Suppe)
Latte E Miele - Opera 21 (Beethoven)

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

The Ancient Mariner has been set to music (Iron Maiden, Bedford (new age/rock), Newbury ('modern' classical), more I think), but the Hostsonaten version is a separate and excellent work.

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

The Maiden is just a 14 minute epic that talks about the poem. Like Rush's "Xanadu". There's no orchestration. They've got a song about Alexander the Great, etc also. Steve Harris (bassist) is a history buff.

They're one of the few hard rock acts that rarely sing about getting tail. Refreshing!

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock

:shootmeno

Re: Compilation Sym-Rock
 

Ok. The Miles is definitely a "cover" if you can call it that. The Yes one's I listed are sort of half-covers. "Astral Traveller"'s middle section is a flat out (I think) Stravinsky piece, though I don't know which one. I'll try to think of others.

I know that Metallica has done Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War." (and it features prominenly in "The Devil's Triangle" by KC.
