Sunday music here is usually classical. So why Greg Lake (from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer fame)? Well, Lake sampled Sergei Prokofiev's famous sleigh ride from his Lieutenant Kijé suite. You almost certainly know this music well enough to hum along (it starts about a minute into the video).
There's quite a lot of classic rock that really should be labeled "Classical Rock" ...

I believe in Father Christmas was released 50 years ago!
There is a version on Youtube of him performing in a church with Ian Anderson on the flute. Glorious.
