Any more suggestions?

Yundi Li – Chopin: Impromptu No.4 in C sharp minor, Op.66 "Fantaisie-Impromptu"???

Nevermind, I've read the list and now understand.

Yvonne Keeley & Scott Fitzgerald - If I had words
A #1 hit in Holland in the 70s, based on
Saint Saens - Symphony 3 (organ)

"Graduation" by Vitamin C *shudder*

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.

@Il Seraglio

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

Several (but would like to confirm that they match your requirements)

Scooter: Sound above my Hair ("Lord of the Dance / Applainahcan Spring" by Copland)
Captain Jack: Dream a Dream ("In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg)
Scooter: Raving, I'm Raving ("Scotland the Brave")

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

Thrice - Music Box (based off of the Japanese folk song Sakura, Sakura)

Evanescence-Lacrymosa

Suddenly remembered this one:
