Thread Name: Origins: Borrowing from Classical Composers
Subject: RE: Origins: Borrowing from Classical Composers
"Hold My Hand, I'm a Stranger in Paradise" is from the musical "Kismet", which used tunes by Borodin (mainly "Prince Igor" and the Second String Quartet).

The main folk borrowing from classical music these days has to be people adapting Italian opera arias into football chants.
