Found, thanks guys.
Well, I guess it was kind of embarassing, that's why I didn't want to tell. I wanted to actually change the thread to a more general "recommend the best way to start classical music" type thread, but unfortunately, it was impossible to change the thread title.
Additionally, I thought there would be no more interest in finding out what the song is.
It turned out to be the Verge's "Bittersweet Symphony." I knew I had heard it somewhere, but I didn't realize it was actually a rock song and not a piece of classical music. I only heard the beginning part as I was walking by. I stayed around for about two songs prior, and they were all playing rock songs (with cellos instead of guitars, I may add) , so I should have figured this one would have been a rock song as well.
^Wow. That's a shame really, did The Verve at least credit the group? They didn't even change the pitch.. unlike Led Zeppelin with their Spirit rip-off haha.
Hell on you, another song destroyed for me(jk)
EDIT: I just skimmed the Wiki entry.. Why did all the royalties go to Jagger and Richards in the end? Are they linked to the orchestra?
Ah, yes. That song is very similar to the verge's song. Thanks for showing me that video. It was pretty cool.
Although this turned out not to be a piece of classical music, this sparked my search for it. Maybe I should finally start getting into it, even though I do fine it a bit boring (maybe it is an acquired taste).
