Where an artist takes a Standard Snippet or other piece of classical music and incorporates it into their song. Could be small snippet of the piece or much longer. Might result in Crowning Music of Awesome when done properly.
Speculatively, the motivations for classical sampling are:
Importing a sense of gravitas and substance.
A way of highlighting the qualities of classical and pop music by contrasting them.
Simply as a useful gimmick to make a song stand out.
A Sub-Trope of Sampling that normally gets around pesky legal issues by virtue of most classical music falling into the public domain. Named after the song by Falco, which, contrary to the title, does not use this trope.
Not to be confused with Rock Me, Asmodeus!. Nor with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, although his music is likely to show up. Genre Mashup occurs when multiple genres, not just melodies, are combined. See also Public Domain Soundtrack. Compare Classical Music Is Cool, and contrast Classical Music Is Boring.

German punk band Die Toten Hosen has an album called Ein Kleines Bisschen Horrorshow — "A Little bit of Horrorshow" — which has quite a few bits and pieces of Beethoven's Ninth in it. The songs reference A Clockwork Orange a lot, so this makes sense when you think about it. The first song is even called "Here Comes Alex".

Rhapsody of Fire's 10-minute epic "The Wizard's Last Rhymes" borrows heavily from the 4th movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony. On their album From Chaos To Eternity, the songs "Tempesta di Fuoco" and "Heroes of the Waterfalls' Kingdom" both borrow from Beethoven's Piano Sonata #1 in F Minor.

Modest Mussorgsky:
The chorus of ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me" is based on Night on Bald Mountain.
Animusic: "Cathedral Pictures" contains excerpts from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", specifically "Promenade", "The Hut on Fowls Legs", and "The Great Gate of Kiev", all arranged for an organ, an electric bass, and drums.

The guitar solo in Spinal Tap's Heavy Duty is the Boccherini minuet. According to the DVD commentary, that was actually the finale to a very intricate and inventive ten-minute solo, but Marty cut it down for a time, and made Nigel look like a hack. To make matters worse, the short version made it onto the soundtrack and is the only one most people have ever heard.

Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9:
Forms the basis of Blind Guardian's "By the Gates of Moria".
Also the Rhapsody of Fire song "The Wizard's Last Rhymes".
And quoted in the bridge of the cover of "America" by The Nice.
Used at the start of Pinkfong's rendition of "Baby Shark".
Was loosely adapted by Ferdinand J. Smith into the "Feature Presentation" theme for HBO.
The third movement was adapted for Geoff Gill and Cliff Wade into "Heartbreaker", first recorded by Jenny Darren, but better known as being Covered Up by Pat Benatar.
It also forms the basis of Olivia Rodrigo's "Vampire".

Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band's "A Fifth of Beethoven" quotes Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor. It was most famously used in the film Saturday Night Fever. Also in the film was David Shire's funky reworking of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, which was called Night on Disco Mountain.
Following Murphy's hit a group called The Philarmonics gave similar treatment to Für Elise. "For Elise" peaked at #100 on Billboard's Hot 100.

Rednex's "Wild and Free" is built on the melody of Offenbach's "Infernal Galop" from Orpheus in the Underworld. Most people know it best as "The Cancan Song."

"Beethoven Virus" from Pump It Up samples Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique (Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13). "Canon D", is of course, Pachelbel's Canon. In fact, at least 70% of BanYa's catalog for the series is this. To name a few: "Sorceress Elise" to Beethoven's Für Elise, "Turkey March" to Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca, and "Winter" to Vivaldi's L'inverno.

Wendy Carlos' album Switched-On Bach is a Cover Album with compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach played on a Moog synthesizer. Her follow-up album "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer" adds Montiverdi, Scarlatti, and Handel to more Bach. Her soundtrack of A Clockwork Orange does the same with music by Ludwig van Beethoven and Henry Purcell and her one contribution to the soundtrack of The Shining is "Dies Irae" from Hector Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique" in a similar eerie electronical arrangement.

Indeed, pretty much the entirety of the TSO's output that isn't Christmas stuff is this. Beethoven's Last Night contains at least the "Moonlight Sonata", the "Pathetique", "Für Elise" and the 5th (and a lot more Beethoven, of course), Mozart's overture to The Marriage of Figaro, and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee". Nightcastle contains an actual "Hall of the Mountain King", Verdi's Requiem, Orff's Carmina Burana, and a cover of the "Nutrocker" (which of course is itself B. Bumble and the Stingers' cover of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker).

A trademark of The Piano Guys, who combine classical motifs with the contemporary. Their version of "Mission Impossible" with Lindsey Stirling features a bit of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 16 (performed in 5/4 time in a minor key), "Beethoven's Five Secrets" mixes elements of Beethoven's Symphony 5 into One Republic's "Secrets", and "Kung Fu Piano: Cello Ascends" combines Chopin's Prelude Opus 28 with "Oogway Ascends" from Kung Fu Panda.
