Concerning classical elements in Symphony X's songs

[Trusse]

I know people have listed a list with the classical elements Symphony X uses a lot of time. I ask this question again since I am to write an assignment about classical elements in metal.

Anyone who can post which classical elements Symphony X uses in some of their songs? For instance i know they use Gustav Holst and JS. Bach in TDWOT and A Fool's Paradise.

Thanks

There is a ton of classical influences in symphony x, I don't listen to alot of classical, so I can't tell you which...but still I'm aware that they're there!

That list needs to be updated for Paradise Lost. Unless it doesn't have any classical nuances...which, it might not.

Lacrymosa is part of Mozart's Requiem, the Lacrimosa section. That entire work has to be one of the most awesome classical pieces EVER.

I'll bet it doesn't have much. Maybe something in Oculus...

Paradise Lost is all original stuff. V was the last album for him to actually quote classical composers. Still, the influence from the style is there. Seven has some total baroque parts, and the mid section has some really 20th century chord changes... Romeo said he's really into Holst and Stravinsky, and there you have it with Oculus.
