Psuedo-classical?
I wonder...would your teacher have anything against a modern version of the music? I mean, Vanessa Mae has some awesome violin techno renditions of beautiful classical music. Here's some music that would fall into that category:
Vanessa Mae - "The Devil's Trill" (or, you could use the original Tartini version)
Vanessa Mae - "Storm" (I think this is a rendition of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons Symphony'...or something like that...not too sure)
Bond - "Allegretto"
Bond - "Duel" (not positive if this is actually a remake of a classical song, but it sounds like it)
This music really is just like the original versions, except it's put to an upbeat rhythm. If your teacher has a problem with it then...bleh on the teacher.
When in doubt, you can always look for a Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtrack - I'm sure there's plenty of classical music on that. That series (and Yami no Matsuei) feeds off of that type of music.
Hope that helps somehow.
As always, Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!

Sorry...
Ack! Sorry to double-post, but I just thought of this one:
Pachelbel - "Pachelbel's Canon"
It's a really great piece, and there's plenty of versions of it out there. I'm sure you could find one you liked.

Some musical suggestions off the top of my head:
Anonymous 4: Medieval and Renaissance music arranged for four female singers, sometimes of unearthly beauty.
Bach: straight or switched-on. There are hundreds of inventions, preludes and fugues, sarabandes, gigues, etc., most of which are fairly short and intricate.
Gabrieli: contrapuntal brass music, very elegant and grand. (Look for collections of “Renaissance brass music.”)
Scarlatti: many short, colorful harpsichord sonatas.
Chopin: lots of piano music, mostly in shorter lengths: preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas, etc., all of it good.
Liszt, Schumann, Mendelssohn: more extremely varied piano music at various lengths.
Berlioz: “Racoczy March” (or “Hungarian March”) from The Damnation of Faust — forget Sousa; this is the best march ever.
Tchaikovsky: Act two of The Nutcracker: numerous short and colorful orchestral pieces.
Dvorak: Slavonic Dances — mostly short and lively.
Debussy: two books of preludes for the piano (“Clair de lune” is from here). Also some very interesting orchestral music, but that tends to run longer than the piano pieces.
Prokofiev: maybe the first headbanger — “Toccata” and “Suggestion Diabolique” are heavy metal for solo piano. Shorter orchestral music includes pieces from The Love for Three Oranges and Scythian Suite; the latter gets quite heavy.
Or perhaps Bartok was the first to make metallic music. “Allegro Barbaro” and some of the “Out of Doors” pieces are ferocious. There are also many folk song settings. For orchestral music, perhaps a section of the Dance Suite.
Scott Joplin: the American Chopin, according to William Bolcom. (Please don’t pick “The Entertainer,” though; I’ve heard it too often.) James Scott and Joseph Lamb also wrote excellent ragtime.
Scriabin: piano music. His late music is downright psychedelic. My favorite: “Flammes sombres” from “Two Dances,” Op. 73.
Finding music: as suggested above, listening to the a classical station is a good idea if there is one in your area. Also check your library; often there’s a good collection of classical CDs available. There are many miscellaneous collections available; you’ll generally find something interesting on any of them. There are some good budget labels for classical music, e.g., Naxos.

You have the right idea Undtertow with Stratovarius! There are better Stratovarius songs than "Stratovarius".Undertow wrote:Maybe try classically inspired bands, like Savatage and Stratovarius.
They are both metal bands, but their instrumental songs are heavily inspired by classical music.
My personal recommendations are "Mozard and Madness" and Christmas eve" by Savatage and "Stratosphere" and "Stratovarius" by Stratovarius.
On the truelly classical songs i'm at a loss, definatly not my field, but i can check to see if anything comes up
Some good Stratovarius songs for any type of anime project for you school:
Forever
Years go By
Speed of Light
Stratosphere
Falling into Fantasies.

Mozart's Requiem
It gets used in all kinds of music to include X-men 2. Plus the dude was a master among masters when it comes to music.
He started composing when he was three. He was also known for having such a great musical ear that he could compose without playing as he went. He just wrote it down like a photocopier, with no scratch outs or anything. (Beethoven could not even do that.)
Or if you would like to mess with your teacher bend the rules and do a Metal Classic fusion such as the album S&M (San Francisco Orchestra and Metallica).
