Answer 3

Bands as The Smiths, Muse, Iron Maiden, Tears for Fears, and Deep Purple have all used it as walk on music, and on the intro to Muse's album HAARP. In songs it has been sampled by American hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest in "Can I Kick It?", quoted in German metal band Necrophagist's "Only Ash Remains", Austrian metal band Hollenthon's "Lords of Bedlam", American neofolk group Blood Axis's "Reign I Forever", sampled by British rapper Life MC on "Time Crisis" & British drum & bass group The Qemists on "Got One Life". It features heavily in the song Taken for Granted by Sia. It has also been used in Norwegian metal band Satyricon's video for "Mother North" and as the intro to electronic group VNV Nation's live concert DVD Pastperfect. It has been performed with an orchestra by metal band Epica at the Miskolc Opera Festival, included on their live album The Classical Conspiracy. Emerson, Lake and Palmer created their own arrangement of the piece on the 1978 album Black Moon, and performed the song on the subsequent tour.
