Spot The Classical Sample

[KevinJS]

Jeremiah Clarke (1674 - 1707) - Prince Of Denmark's March (Trumpet Voluntary)

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping (I Get Knocked Down)

 

[N8Nagel]

I'm surprised that nobody has posted this yet.

 

[Delmarva]

Out on a limb here. The French National Anthem - La Marseillaise

The sample is in this song by Raven, the title track to their third album All For One, the song is based on The Three Musketeers novel.
The quote from La Marseillaise comes in during John Gallagher's guitar solo at the 2:17 mark.
WARNING: This is serious headbanging metal. Listen at your own risk.

Yet another version of Grieg's Hall Of The Mountain King, this time by the Electric Light Orchestra.

At 5:24 I'm think Oscar is quoting "The Rite Of Spring". There is a hint of what is to come about 12 seconds before that at 5:12...

Heard Franz Josef Haydn's St. Anthony Chorale on the radio today for the first time. I instantly knew the theme from a prog album. Had a hard time coming up with the piece of music.

It was Focus's Hamburger Concerto
I've been listening to it for decades but never knew it had classical provenance.

Johannes Brahms also used the piece in his Variations on a Theme of Haydn.

 

[Dusty Ol'Man]

The very last theme in Stravinski's Firebird is used as the opening theme in Manfred Mann's Starbird on The Roaring Silence. The Firebird theme is at the 45 minute mark in this:

And here is Mann

 

[Delmarva]

I remember when I first bought a copy of the Firebird Suite, I kept thinking that I must have bought something different than the piece that Yes uses as their opening fanfare when performing live, but then at the last minute it finally kicks in.

 

[KevinJS]

Have to admit, I'd never spotted this connection before, in spite of knowing both pieces of music very well.

Recuerdas de la Alambra - Francisco Tárrega

Mike Oldfield - Étude

@KevinJS, I need a little help identifying the classical reference here. I know have it in my vinyl collection. I know it's Slavic. I was thinking Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave, but I think I'm wrong.
The song is from Chicago based doom metal pioneers Trouble from their third album, "Run To The Light". It's called "On Borrowed Time".
You can actually hear it building from the beginning of the song, but the actual reference comes in at the 1:04 mark.

Chopin's Funeral March, I think.

 

[Delmarva]

I believe you are correct.
Chopin was Polish I believe, so I was on the money with the Slavic thought.

Yes, he was Polish.

He changed his name from Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin to Frédéric François Chopin, presumably when he was granted French citizenship. (Just looked it up). Didn't realize he snuffed it when he was only 39.

 

[Delmarva]

I was blown away by the 39 year old death as well.
Was also surprised that he was Polish. Always assumed he was French with a name like that.
