It plays directly in your browser (no download required). oh, i messed it up, forget the first 3 seconds.

@She-Nerd: you're correct. it's indeed a remix of the theme song of A Clockwork Orange. On the 1st mentioned link click on "List of cultural references to A Clockwork Orange" then half way down to chapter "Electronic Music and dance pop", then Cygnus X and you got it. The presented excerpt was
Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Moonman's Orange Juice Mix )

@CubCur aka. Richard (THE Y!A Richard ?): you should get a life - really!

Answer 1

I' m not quick to say this, but that was noxious. :-(

However, it's trying to rely -- as a motif, first instance at 0:27, repeated verbatim 0:41 and 0:55, the only thing actually structured -- on the first three notes of 'Ase's Tod' from 'Peer Gynt' by Grieg to give it coherence -- and fails miserably.

Here's the original:

I *suffered* to answer this one...

All the very best. :-)

Answer 2

Sounds to me like a techno remix of the song that was used as the title song for the film "A Clockwork Orange"
It's by modern composer Wendy Carlos, who was one of the first to play classics, and classic-inspired original pieces, on the Moog synthesiser (a versitile electronic musical instrument that became popular in the late '60's.)
"A Clockwork Orange" features other famous classics as played on the synthesiser by Wendy Carlos, as well as a few other original pieces by Carlos. Most famously, it includes the William Tell Overture and themes from Beethoven's fifth and ninth symphonies.
It also sounds a bit like the first three notes of the Gynt funeral march, cited by another answerer, but the transitions are more suggestive of the Clockwork Orange title song, which was in turn inspired by 17 century English composer H. Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary" As far as I can tell, Carlos didn't give the piece a title, it is simply referred to as "Clockwork Orange Title Song"

Answer 3

Argh what a mess of unmusical noise. Did someone say "classical beat"? Now what could that mean? There is no such thing.

The piece had no identifiable theme except for the insipid techo-pop drum beat. No, it is not from any famous piece.

There is so much good music out there. Why listen to something this annoying?

Answer 4

Wow...this one is really going to bug me...because I like the song too! And I have heard that classical beat before...but I can't put my finger on it at the moment...although Samuel Barber- Adiago for Strings keeps coming to mind.

I'll keep looking though...

Answer 5

This is pseudo-classical garbage. No, not anything famous. It repeated the same thing over and over - not even an identifiable theme.
