14 Muse Songs Inspired By Classical Music
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 02. 2021
- A key ingredient of Muse's signature brand of prog rock is classical music. Pretty much all Muse songs owe part of their sound to classical music, but sometimes Muse will borrow entire passages from their favourite composers, to the point that they have basically just recorded a rock cover of a classical masterpiece.

I see Matt Bellamy of Muse in the thumbnail, I click.
Yeap
yup
you seen them live?
yes
@@archielether5162 yeees, in Vienna Drones tour
Literally me đđ I miss Muse so much
Matt seems to really love Toccata, he used it again on âYou Make Me Feel Like Itâs Halloweenâ and once again it worked amazing!
- Hey man can I copy your homework?
- Yeah, just make sure to change some things so that it isnât obvious
_Proceeds to add a sh*t ton of distortion_
Naaaah! Has, nothing like that. Matt has always granted credit to people who inspired him (or who he borrowed some pieces from).
@@Memorh19 I know I know, it was just a joke. I am an unconditional Muse fan and I know for a fact that Matt is an amazing music composer
@@Mirta_Qc ok man! All good haha. Also here a great Muse fan!!
And isn't even that good
@@catharinaazevedo3211 Thank you for your constructive, useful and smart comment. I really think it shall bring the world further in its development and many people deeply care about what you just said. It impacted everyoneâs life in a positive way and I am glad I could hear your wise words. Your family must be really proud of who you are, because such an ability to write impactful words is very rare and precious. I could never thank you enough.
When I first got into Muse, it really made me wonder why piano arpeggio's and dark classical influences weren't much more common in rock music. Other rock bands just sounded very bare bones and minimalist in comparison.
Same, i wish we have more bands with that sound
I accept that it is good to get inspired on some composer and to even take the melody and do something new, (only if you give to the original composer some credit), because honestly I have seen some pop or rock artists that use whole fragments of some classic composers and they didn't give not a mention, its a completely nonsense.
I highly recommend the band Infugue (czcams.com/users/Infugue). Check out the track Celeritas from their album Dark Matter - knightsofficial.bandcamp.com/album/dark-matter. They definitely draw from some of the same influences as Muse, and I have to imagine they're fans of Muse themselves.
Check out some Nightwish my dude.
Check out the band RED it's a metal symphonic band
The fact that Matt Bellamy learned all the Chopin and stuff without sheet music or an instructor makes him an even more inhumanly talented. And an amazing video once again, as a long time Muser this was exceptionally great stuff!

@@clcomposer7965 I agree, but at least Muse give their respect and recognition to the composers they reference.
To be fair, imagine how much better he had been if he HAD been classically trained
@@christopherbromley8466 You never know, classical training can also make learning music boring and maybe Matt wouldn't have his animalic playing and performing style if he was classically trained, because classical training tries to focus students to play excatly like the sheet music says, play by the book. Instructed learning isn't a gateway to musical heaven.
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 Your perception of classical training is clearly flawed. Classical training incorporates theory and creative thought as well as regimen. Classical musicians aren't robots who are only capable of zombie-like renditions exactly like the original piece. It's really very sad how many people think of classical musicians as unoriginal, when a great many of today's elite creative producers and musicians came from that background.
Being trained doesn't make one LESS creative, it gives them the tools to be even MORE creative. This is not to detract from Matt's remarkable talent and love for classical music---I am merely saying that if he had been classically trained and been able to sight read, he would be EVEN BETTER.
Matt Bellamy is really the one who does love classical music, you can hear and feel it with every piece of your soul while listening to Muse. This band makes us remember the brilliance of classical composers. I think I can adore their music endlessly...Thanks for this great Muse-related video!

So Chopin is Museâs muse?
Letâs see paul allenâs muse
@@aryanugraha3112 Oh my god! It even has copyright.
Jet he still is ignorant and doesnât know that Chopin is Polish composer not French.
rip off
@@figofagonagoitis technically Chopin was half Polish, half French
Dude, I've been following your channel for at least a year now and I love every single video you did. This one really resonated with me because Muse is one of my all-time favorite bands! I can probably play most of the piano parts you mentioned just because I was so in love with the way they mix genres and make it work! But Butterflies and Hurricanes is my go-to piano stress relief solo! Thank you for another amazing video!
Thanks so much! I loved Muse so much when I was younger but fell out of the habit of listening to them after The Resistance. Making this video though has reignited my love for them! đđ Thanks for watching!
@@DavidBennettPiano I had periods when I listen to them non stop, a bit less now, but still, an amazing band. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Vienna just around the release date of Drones. But I like their classics the best, nothing beats hearing Stockholm Syndrome live. Thanks once again, keep up the brilliant work, I can only imagine the amount of time and research every video takes. PS. that Frere Jacques version of yours is a masterpiece đ Cheers!
I think we are twins
me too
"Piano Thing" is the one!!
Muse is criminally underrated. I mean they're mega stars, but they're still slept on.
How is it underrated? Sold out venues around the world, millions of fans! How is a band officially rated enough?
@@kati6025 I think he meant that a lot of time that people spend on celeb drama or internet drama better be allocated for discussing Muse.
I somewhat agree with him, Muse isn't talked enough outside of its own fandom.
I'll tell you exactly how- they get zero airtime on the radio, at least here in the states.
@@130rne Muse might not get much air time in western countries where most of the air time is devoted to mass produced,conveyor belt music, but among most people who have a somewhat decent taste in music beyond top20 shite, Muse are widely considered one of the best modern rock bands out there.
You dont get comparisons to queen without being rated highly.
@@Jonas.A.Larsen đ€
I literally love the whole album The Resistance and Exogenesis particularly. And I absolutely do not understand how many people missed the work of Muse. And I'm glad to see how their work is discussed.
Thank you for the wonderful video!
Muse don't get enough credit in internet music circles, their stuff from the 2000's was incredible and very unique
I agree! For me I think the issue is that their sound has become less accessible since 2010 onwards. The 00s was their era!
@@DavidBennettPiano nteresting I wouldn't say it's less accessible, I just don't think they have the same passion for songwritting and hunger like they used to. Like in Drones, I'm sorry but Matt wasn't even trying to come up with good lyrics lol.
Think of early 80's Queen, that's where they've been at for the past decade
@@DavidBennettPiano I think they have remained great to this day even though Simulation Theory was not that awesome. Maybe their alternative sound fitted better with the early 2000s sound scape, the modern recording technology takes a bit off from originality but I still their songwriting hasn't got any worse, apart from a couple of tracks in the new album.
Butterflies and Hurricanes has a direct quote from Rachmaninov as well
*Sees title* this appeals directly to my interests specifically đ

10 David Bennett Piano videos inspired by Muse inspired by classical music inspired by The Beatles
Classical Music + Queen + Pink Floyd + Rage Against The Machine + Radiohead = Muse
Accurate.
Iâd swap out Radiohead for Jeff Buckley cuz Iâm pretty sure the things that make Muse and Radiohead sound similar at times are their shared influences.
@@awookieandagerman even more accurate. Lol đđ I think both Matt and Thom credited Jeff for influencing their vocal style. I know Matt did.
@@danielstamegna2391 I tend to feel like that also rubbed off on Chris Martin or the guy from Keane as well, though those two might have actually heard it from Thom or Matt first.
@@awookieandagerman I don't think I've ever listened to Keane so now I'm gonna check them out so can't speak on that but I would say that's probably fair to say. Man I love Muse lol
From a classically-trained pianist and huge fan of Muse, THANK YOU for this video
Youâre welcome! đ
Youâre welcome! đ
As someone who loves both Classical and Pop/Rock genres, Muse's "Absolution" almost immediately resonated with me. I thought "this SO reminds me of Eastern European Romantic Music!" The piano work on that album is gorgeous. The band is one of my favorites. (Which I guess isn't surprising as I love Chopin and Rachmaninoff . . )
Well, it's not exactly Eastern European. Chopin was from Central Europe (Poland) not Eastern Europe. So Central European (Chopin) + Eastern European (Rachmaninoff) music influences
Ooooh, I haven't listened to Muse in ages, thanks for giving me the perfect reason to revisit their music and listen for the classical influences!
A David Bennett video devoted to Muse? TODAY IS A BLESSED DAY
Yessss thank you for the Chopin shoutouts.
He's so influential on all of music it's staggering.
"Chopin is the greatest of them all, for with the piano alone, he discovered everything."
- Claude Debussy
I adore "Drones", the ending song of their album, _Drones,_ Benedictus by Palestrina with a modern, scary message, setting up the album to be replayed.
0:29 correction: Chopin was a POLISH composer and piano virtuoso : )
Yep but he live in Paris when he composer he famous piece and the father was a French and mother was Polish
Yep, but his father was Polish-speaking (who insisted on the use of the Polish language in the household in Poland), most of inspired by Polish folk music Chopin's works are Polish polonaises, Polish mazurkas, Polish songs set to Polish words, he left Poland among thousands of other Poles (after the failure of uprising in Poland and political situation ensuing) and he dreamed of coming back to Poland what was possible only after his death. As requested by Chopin his heart was sent back to Poland : )
@@swietymikolajbb Yep i through Chopin . said i not sure " my mind is French ,my heart is Polish" ^^
@@a001l He must be very important to us, if we fight for him so much, that's nice!
Enjoy listening to Chopin (and Muse, of course too) đ
@@swietymikolajbb Agree ^^
It's so interesting how many songs in the charts right now even are influenced by or use the melody of classical pieces
Really? I hear way more jazz influence nowadays coming from neo soul, hip hop, and rnb
Basically any music past the hundred or so years of copyright so they can't be sued.
I know David also made a video about this a while back. Something about Maroon 5 copying Pachebel's Canon.
Neither classical music nor rock music.
Jazz music style never should be combination with classical music style. Jazz style and rock music have independent style.
Classical music style is independent style. Rock music and jazz music style have own independent style. Romantic music style in 1800 to 1899 have independent style. Impressionism music style like Claudio debussy was independent style.
I've been a fan of Muse for YEARS, and through TwoSet Violin I found a new love for classical music.
This video is soooo amazing to watch now!
I love TwoSet too! đ
omg sameeee
Same!
I see Muse, I click.
Thanks, David
Thank you so much! I almost can't find this kind of videos about Muse, all your analysis are always unique and incredible, so I appreciate so much you did this!
Thank you! đđ
Iâm a pianist, I took lessons for 10 years and know how to read music and all that but sight reading has always been my weakness. I think itâs just not the way I learn really. But it honestly hasnât ever really hindered my ability to play, like I lovee Chopin and Satie, and maybe itâs because I have ADHD but I tend to hyper focus on a piece so Iâll listen to other people play it and watching someone elseâs hand positions has always helped things click in my mind. So I guess what Iâm saying is that I think people tend to over emphasis sight reading, a great skill donât get me wrong, but it isnât the end all be all of learning classical music.
Why do I relate to every single part of this comment đł
This video feels so short, could be an hour in depth analysis
My all-time favorite band :)))
My favorite band ever! Iâm so glad you did a video on them
You can hear David trying not to laugh at 3:40
đ That interview about "I Belong To You" is with a French interviewer so you can see how awkward Matt Bellamy is because he now has to admit that he covered a French classical masterpiece without really knowing how to pronounce any of the lyrics!
Rip on the mat undressed
@@DavidBennettPiano I wonder why he didnt try learning how to correctly pronounce the lyrics? Not enough time I guess?
Just started listening but after hearing your evidences, one has to ask: âit might be easy enough to get the CORE information from interviews and such but how in the *ell do you know the subtle frickin details like you do?!?â Seriously! This is just breathtaking. You KNOW this sh*t?!?
Thanks for doing a full video on this!!
They closed the Drones tour with that Palestrina piece. It was a brilliant closer
Matt Bellamy is one of the few musician remained who has a plenty of musical culture.
My two favorite composers are Rachmaninov and Chopin as well. The "2nd Piano Concerto" is my favorite piece of music ever. This may explain why I love Muse.
As an orchestra conductor who is always pointing out how music is one big interconnected thing through all times: thank you for this video!
Agreed. Yes, there are different genres, but it's all music, with each borrowing a bit of others. (While classical tends to not really borrow from pop, though maybe now they do, before they would borrow from FOLK melodies, which, I suppose was the POPULAR music of the day).
This video could not have come at a better time. I'm finally diving into classical theory and muse is one of my favorite bands of all time. This video is extremely inspiring to me.
Thank you! đđ
At 5:30, the coda in Butterflies and Hurricanes is possibly inspired by Rach's Piano Concerto 2, third movement đ
last time i was this early panic! was still a band
Panic! At the recording studio, because Brendan is the only one who showed up. Oh well, I guess we'll just record what he's got.
That was really cool. Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos. Donât hesitate to do more Muse videos. Thanks!
Thank you! đđ
I've been waiting for this video!
ive never been more hyped for a video, i adore muse so so much and to see this is so exciting
Certainly a welcome surprise and a nice way to start the week! So glad I got lucky and managed to see them live in their latest tour.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! It's a good day when a video about Muse's classical influences pops up in my recommendations, so thank you very much for producing it!
Such an interesting band, as you pointed out once more.
i love your videos so much! thanks for sharing them with us :)
đThis video was originally sponsored by "Primephonic", however, now that "Primephonic" is no longer available I have removed the sponsored materials from the video.
Great analysis, David. I really hope you can make a video on thr Japanese band X Japan. The drummer and pianist Yoshiki is classically trained. Try starting with Alive inspired by Moonlight Sonata, then Rose of Pain inspired by Little Fugue in G minor. If you are ready, you can listen the famous 30-minute long Art of Life with some parts modified from Unfinished Symphony.
Good video, but too much advertising - especially once you add in reading all the names at the end.
george474747 Iâm afraid that, as Iâm making this video available to watch free of charge, advertising is required to make it sustainable.
hey, what song is âŠ. czcams.com/video/lxZ7RcWofm8/video.html ????
Hi
I commented on one of your recent videos, but u didn't respond. I'm a huge muse and Matt Bellamy fan and I listen to classic rock excessively, actually its there everyday. I want you to take heed of muse's EXPLOLERS song which is a great masterpiece I believe, then take a look at QUEEN's Don't stop me now, specially the final seconds of the track. You'll see a complete inspiration or anything like that probably, Matt extracted. Thats a thing that I recognized or kinda felt when I listened to it for the first time. Please check it out and reply me. Thanx
Beautiful content as always!
Such a lovely video. Thank you for making it :)
I love that you included the Exogenesis Symphony in this. In my opinion, it's a gorgeous cap-off of perhaps Muse's most written off album in their discography! I was actually surprised to see how unpopular it was in the fanbase, being my favorite of there's so far (still tracking down more of their albums).
Hi David, thanks for dedicating an entire video to my favourite artist, I have been intrigued by Matt Bellamy's classical sensibilities when it comes to composition and is a true, modern day musical genius to me. Amazing work! đ”
Thank you! đđ
Museâs âNeutron Star Collisionâ has incredible Rachmaninoff-type piano drama at the end. đâ€ïž
Yasss
this is a very well done video! I always love classical and rock music and muse is the answer. they're very unique and matt is a brilliant and talented musician in nature. his love for music really shows...
This video should have been 3,5 hours. Damn this is interesting. I absolutely love it. I love Muse for years now and they were my way into classical music. In fact, they were my way into any kind of music I listen to. Matt Bellamy is a genius musician.
The song "Unintended" is really similar to Handel's "Passacaglia". They share almost the same chord progression and the melody of Muse's song is similar to one that happens to appear in the second part of "Passacaglia" with some rhythm changes.
Omg I was considering asking for a video like this on patreon đ Muse is one of my favs and I get so excited whenever you break down their songs!!!!
Youâre welcome! Thanks for your support đđ
I accept that it is good to get inspired on some composer and to even take the melody and do something new, (only if you give to the original composer some credit), because honestly I have seen some pop or rock artists that use whole fragments of some classic composers and they didn't give not a mention, its a completely nonsense.
I'm genuinely thankful for you promoting Primephonic here. I've been getting into minimalist music a lot lately and was having a hard time finding recordings of certain works. Primephonic actually makes it very easy, especially for creating full collections of works by composers. So far I've done Stravinsky, Grofe, and Reich (my three all time favorites) and can't wait to do more and discover a lot more composers. Thanks for bringing this to light man.
Also I dig the video of course. I might check Muse out now.
I did not know Muse was inspired by Chopin (he was actually a Polish composer living in France).
Now I love them even more.
1) his father was french;
2) his family name - Chopin - is french;
3) he began to live in France in 1831, it's to say at 21 yo. He died at 39 yo, thus he lived his whole adult life in France and almost half of his whole life.
4) he never came back to Poland.
5) his full "business was in France".
6) he owned several estate in France, not elsewhere.
7) his friends, loves and customers where mostly french.
8) he died in France and his tomb is in Paris.
So yes, he was really and undoubtedly half french, biologically as well as geographically, administratively and socially.
â ââ @@hermes3386 his father viewed him self as Polish, his surname is spelt Szopen, He didnt flee because he wanted to poland was occupied how could he own estates and compose in a country where he would have been Killed? His tomb is in Paris but his heart arrived in a jar and is now in poland upon his own request request. His most massive output by far are his mazurkas which are ofc a french dance đ and he wrote multiple polonaises. He wrote songs in Polish, Yes songs. And a fantasia on Polish themes his mom sang to him as a toddler. He composed a rondo in the style of a Krakowiak Also a Polish dance. He is a pole always was always will be.
@@anetawierzbanowska7659 Answers:
1) "his father viewed him self as Polish" --->> lie ! A proof ? He communicated all his life long in french with his son, Frédéric.
2) "He didnt flee because he wanted to poland was occupied how could he own estates and compose in a country where he would have been Killed? " --->>> so what ? Frédéric could have fled to London, Berlin, Roma or to the USA ! Why did he come to Paris ? Because he was half-french, was able to speak french, and perfectly knew that IN Paris he could become a famous musician. Nothing more, nothing less.
3) "His tomb is in Paris but his heart arrived in a jar and is now in poland upon his own request request." --->>> His brain, his hands, his bones, his tendons are in France and just his heart in Poland, and this little part of him means means more than all the rest for you ? That's cherry picking at best !
4) "His most massive output by far are his mazurkas which are ofc a french dance đ and he wrote multiple polonaises. He wrote songs in Polish, Yes songs. And a fantasia on Polish themes his mom sang to him as a toddle" --->>> so what ? It does not interfere with the fact his DNA was half french, the fact the country he chose to spend half his life was France, the fact he took the french nationality, the fact is family name was french, the fact most of his career was in France, most of his social net people were french etc.
5) "He composed a rondo in the style of a Krakowiak Also a Polish dance. He is a pole always was always will be." --->>> good for him and for us. It does not make him 100% Polish anyway, he chose his style, took his inspiration in his youth culture, okay. And ?
â@@hermes3386 You're overly emotional. Yes he's father was french but he ran away from france because of revolution, and didn't want to come back :D funny isn't it. French fashion was popular at this time in Poland, wealthy families often employed French people as tutors he married a polish girl from such a family, music was their passion. But yes he was french although he spent most of his life in Poland ( 57/73 years ) XD which is funny because its the same argument you're speaking of in case of Fryderyk. Secondary you're talking about being picky but you deduce that half most of his life doesn't matter because he spent rest of his life as an adult but i think it's the early life that matters mostly what human we grew into, just as in case of he's father MikoĆaj. Social life is irrelevant, according to your argument if he would flew to London he would be partly English because he meets and socialize with english people ??? He requested that he's heart should go back to Poland where it belongs and where he "metaphorically" left it because it was Poland that he called home. And lastly i'll bring back he's social life although i did say it's irrelevant but just to clear the mist.. Because Poland was under occupation for 123 years long, poles emigrated to many countries including France. Chopin in he's late years began to live the life of the Polish emigration, working closely with the main Polish intellectuals (Adam Mickiewicz, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Cyprian Kamil Norwid). JĂłzef Bem, asking him for an advance payment for the emerging Polish Polytechnic Society in Paris, whose financing the composer supported. Chopin also hosted his childhood friend, Jan MatuszyĆski, who was staying with Fryderyk proper medicine in Paris. Chopin's famous friend, the great pianist and composer Julian Fontana, also visited Chopin. He was genetically half french, he had French citizenship document but its irrelevant. In fact many famous polish people after Poland re-apeared on map instantly went back home, and wanted to get rid of their foreign citizenship document but many countries including france refused them.
"A Varsovian by birth, a Pole at heart, and a citizen of the world with talent, Fryderyk Chopin has left this world[...]."
I've waited this video so much!
Great video, you go in depth and talk about very precise stuff. It was 15 minutes of great description and explanation. You even informed a die hard fan about inspirations theyâve had! Looking forward to you future content!
Thank you! This is one of my favourite videos youâve done. Incorporating classical music is something I try to do in my own music so any videos on that topic are really useful. There doesnât seem to be much practical guidance on it anywhere
You missed out Megalomania - the verse chord structure is exactly the same as the opening theme of Rachmaninov 2nd piano concerto (again) and the vocal line is pretty similar as well. Matt must have been trying to learn it whilst recording OoS. Plus having an actual church organ in it and singing about god (or the absence of).
Muse = takes many songs from Chopin
everybody: oh ok
Maroon 5 = takes a melody from canon
everybody: *so you have chosen death*
đđ
I think it's because of all the pieces Maroon 5 could have used, they went with the most cliche, overplayed, most recognizable tune out there.

Muse is my favorite band ever an of course I knew about the classical influences, but your explanation was super interesting and listening to the direct comparisons made me feel emotional. You had my attention, now you have my subscription.
Yessss, u made videos of radiohead and now a Muse video! my 2 favorite bands, thank you very much, greetings from Argentina, I love your channel man
Thank you for this David!! I've been fan of Muse since 2017, I know their song are heavily inspired by classical music, but you've been giving me an in depth analysis on their inspiration. Thank you again
Great analysis for a great band!
I had some notion about some of the references you pointed, but all these in-depth details you mentions were way above my knowledge and I am really glad I found this!
Am I the only one triggered by Matthew saying that Chopin was French?
+1
No, you're not the only one
Ugh đ
Wasnât he like half French?
I was looking for this exact comment đ like I love them buuut it's doesn't kill to search a little đ
Muse is my favorite band and still there's so much I miss, for not having this classical background. Such as using melodies that were used to workship, and talk about Drones; or using a patriotic melody for The Globalist. They are genious - and so are you for teaching us about it. Thank you so much, you're the best! â€ïž
"You make me feel like it's halloween" from recent album Will of the People includes Toccata once again. Matt even plays a part of it as intro in live shows.
I was classically trained, and Chopin and Rachmaninov have been major influencers of my own.. it' was surreal to see how these same influencers have created Muse's work (which I love but discovered only recently.... don't know what rock I was hiding under). Wish I could say it was because of the classical underpinnings, but I admit to not noticing half of these before you pointed them out. Fantastic job with setting context and comparison on this video, really great work.
looking good david!
Dude your explanations are amazing!! I've become a Muse fans since my middle school and I didn't notice that similarities with Toccata and Fugue although I've heard it a lot
Thanks for such an interesting video! Loved it!
Thanks!
As usual, David, well researched and extremely interesting. Keep it up. đ
My Dad likes Muse and classical music ( He used to work with John Britten, relative of Benjamin Britten at Brittens Music) he say's Butterflies and Hurricaines sounds a bit like Rachmaniov
You've flirted with muse before in other videos. As a someone who has enjoyed their discography it's really cool to see you make a video on them in particular :D

... French - Chopin. I died inside. Chopin based his works on polish folk, country spirt and whats more he was polish from heart to mind.
I also died inside hearing Matt calling Chopin a 'French influence'....Chopin was Polish đ
was waiting months for this video
Amazing video, thank you!
Another awesome video! Learning a lot and getting inspired at the same time! Thanks

Interesting work.
I knew Bellamy loved Chopin and used his work in some songs but all the early shit I had no idea about! Amazing dude! Thanks for making this video!!
Just subscribed :) Muse is my favourite band! Thanks for the musical analysis
I love your videos. They always show what's more in popular songs and it's so interesting, especially topics like this where you talk about what other pieces of music inspired these songs. And thanks to you I as a not native English speaker can learn new terminology.
i love these videos
