Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Ligaya is definitely original though... I think the classical bit was done by someone else than Ferry but it was done for Ligaya to begin with.

yes. the melody is an original classical piece composed by john ewbank.

lets contribute some more tp this thread i find it very useful..many Dawnseekers/Geert Huinink tracks have classical influence in them..

gothic dreams, mohave, gobi, magikal journey..

and recently, Classical Trancelations was a good attempt at combining modern day trance music and classical.

Holy moly guacamole! When knowledge from the past can help in the future!! It's funny because I listened to most of Vangy's 1492 but *NOT* that track. Something about the name always bothered me. WOW *CONNECTION EXPLOSION*!

And in another bout of weirdness... dj tek, thanks for bumping this thread. I once relayed this info to some fellow trance fans but they didn't believe me, even when I pointed them out to proper attribution on a certain website. BTW, It's actually John Ewbank. Not to be confused with Kevin Eubanks of Saturday Night Live fame.

Here's my contribution to this thread:

The albums of Vanessa-Mae (she has a "best of" out) and Bond. I could generalize and say they are sexy ladies who play stringed instruments on top of club beats, but ahhh... they do it so beautifully. Personal highlight for me -- ah, hear it for yourself --


The Best of Vanessa-Mae
http://www.bmgmusic.com/catalog/pro...productId=49664

And oh, if you enjoy electronica and opera, you may also want to check out the project known as Operatica. The fusion in the name sez it all.

The precursor to much of this, of course, is a series called Hooked On Classics, which was basically a wonderful medley (it would be called a "megamix" today) of classical favorites performed with a thumping disco beat.

Good classical crossovers with trance are fairly rare because it is a rare person who enjoys both. Classical music snobs still refer to synthesizers as "fads that will pass" and I've heard DJs go "Mix in key? !@#$ that, screw theory!" Bah, no boundaries I say... there is so much to learn...

HEHEHE... I have that CD, it's the front cover of her rendition of The Four Seasons. Her versions of Autumn and Winter are quite fun!

Well, in holland there's a singer who sings the tracks john ewbank produced so there was a track with that classical part from ligaya in one of the songs of "Marco Borsato"and it
's called "voor altijd"

Don't forget about the Sensation white Anthem of the year 2003. It was done by Rank1, and they used the main melody of Bach's "Lacrimosa"

A very good, attempt. It's still one of my favourite CD's nowadays. You have to hear Signums remix on "Properity in a new world"!

Yes, I heard about that. Have a lot of this one, though:

Svenson - Sunlight Theory
Rank 1 - Symsonic
DJ Gert vs Marcel Woods - Once Upon A Time in the west (based on the music of Ennio Morricone )
Angels & Wippenberg - Angels Theme
Above & Beyond - Albinoni

I actually got half of this album! Gonna check on the others too!

lets get this straight..

those two guys are Geert Huinink & Alco Lammers
in my opinion the best two guys on Black Hole

gotta mention their biggest alias, Photon Project

Photon Project - Enlightenment / Illumination
these two tracks have big influences of classical music,
just as many other of their productions.

other aliases worth checking out:
Dawnseekers
Twenty Something
Threesome (with Cor Fijneman)

Gerrt Huinink also wrote the classical parts for DJ Tiesto - Magik Journey and Forever Today.

can't agree here though, that CD was horrible. ;/

Mars - Pachelbel 8000

not Bach's, but from Mozart's Requiem.

The Orange Theme was originally done by Beethoven

I recommend the cd "Jan Vayne & AvB - Classical Trancelations"

Jorio feat Cyberdiva-Remember Me (Space Brothers remix) -Epic song - i love opera/classical tracks. anyone recommend any other opera tracks which isnt jurgen vries!!?

well i believe Geert is the one with classical music training and i think geert & alco were more sucessful with the Dawnseekers alias with Gothic Dream being the biggest hit. and about classical trancelation, i honestly havent listened to the cd straight thru but the vinyl samplers ive checked out at stores were pretty good except a few tracks ie. the markus schulz producttion which i didnt feel at all.

I believe you are wrong. The theme music which is used in "The Orange Theme" is original for the movie. The movie also included some older classical pieces many of which were by Beethoven.

Well, i just told what Martin Roth said in an interview... maybe you know a little bit german:

"Wusstet Ihr eigentlich dass die Ursprungsversion von Cygnus X ebenfalls ein Cover ist? Das ganze kam von Beethoven und selbst der coverte es schon von einer Beerdigungs-Zeremonie zu Ehren einer englischen K�nigin. Das ganze ist dann auch noch mit den Cygnus X Autoren abgesegnet und wer uns vorwerfen will, dass es nun schon die 3. Version diese Jahr ist, dem muss ich sagen, dass eine gar nicht erst released wurde und mit einer Hardstyle Version davon m�chte ich mich eigentlich nicht messen."

Well I don't know German but I think I am wrong in saying it was original music.

I found one place on the net saying the Title Music is actually from Henry Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary".
