"Spell of the Gypsies" by Buckethead:

The opening reminds me very much of Pachelbel's Canon in D; but still, I'm not suggesting that this was a straight lift - just heavily inspired, and interestingly developed further...
"Soothsayer" by Buckethead:

Probably his biggest hit...
Just 9-and-a-half minutes of pure electric guitar brilliance...

Beautiful piece of music by Einaudi.
A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy, from the cult movie of disco, Saturday Night Fever (1977). A huge commercial success, the film significantly helped to popularize disco music around the world and made John Travolta, already well known from his role on TV's Welcome Back, Kotter, a household name.
Walter Anthony Murphy, Jr. (born December 19, 1952) is an American instrumentalist, songwriter, and arranger who rose to cult status with the hit instrumental "A Fifth of Beethoven", a disco adaptation of some passages of the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, in 1976, when disco was at the height of its popularity. The song was a smash hit, and reached number 80 on the Hot 100 on May 29, 1976, eventually reaching number 1 within nineteen weeks, where it stayed for one week.

Francis Lai - A Man and a Woman (instrumental) from the movie of the same name (1966).
(French: Un homme et une femme)
The soundtrack was written by Francis Lai and earned "Best Original Score" nominations at both the BAFTA Awards and Golden Globe Awards in 1967. The film's theme song, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Pierre Barouh, was also nominated for "Best Original Song in a Motion Picture" at the Golden Globe Awards. In Finland it has become one of the most easily recognizable TV advertisement themes, having been used for decades by the cruiseferry brand Silja Line.
