"Canon"

BTW, Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries sounds nothing like Canon in D. You might want to try Bach's Ave Maria.

Are you any good with notes and stuff? Can you whip up a few bars?

Since its a Baroque piece, try Bach, Vivaldi, Handel,Telemann, etc

Bach's Brandenburg Concerti are always fun.
Handel -Arrival of the Queen of Sheeba
Telemann - Concerto for Viola

Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem
I crapped myself (in my mind) when I heard it while Nightcrawler was owning.

Edit: Oh crap I didn't read the entire post and I posted the wrong song.
I forgot the scene you're talking about. Sorry. :(

Edit #2: Try here
Personally I can't recognize Track #5 but maybe someone else can.
