I doubt this. First off, there is no reason to list the cover rather than the famous original by Procol Harum, but more importantly, although the song has a very strong Bach influence, there is as far as i know not one single Bach composition that you can point too as the original (certainly not Air, which is often quoted for this song).

Hi, Art Rock, The original version of A Whiter Shade of Pale is not available on Spotify at this moment, so I use my favourite cover.

Thanks for If I Had Words, I have put it in my playlist.

Graduation Day doesn't belong here, see the youtube video from my OP

ThanksI put them in the playlist, just replaced the first with Weezer's The Greatest Man Ever Lived, which also borrowed from the hymn Copland used.

There was a song called "full Moon and empty Arms" that I think is based on Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto. (Or the Raphsody on a theme of Paganini)

Anyone want to hear the 15th variation of Elgar's Enigmas?! Of course you do! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YCGtT_FRYg

... at least according to Rob Dougan, surprised this hasn't been mentioned!

Thanks, I added to the playlist, though it's more like a remix of the Enigma theme.

I never watched the Matrix

Apparently "Somewhere Out There" sung by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram is based on the second movement to Beethoven's "Pathetique" sonata
