* [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] called his [[Violin Concerto No. 3 (Mozart)|Third violin concerto]] (1775) ''Straßburger Konzert'' because of one of its most prominent [[Motif (music)|motives]], based on a local, [[minuet]]-like dance that had already appeared as a tune in a symphony by [[Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lempfrid|first1=Wolfgang|title=Wolfgng Amadeus Mozart: Konzert für Violine und Orchester in D-Dur, KV 218|url=http://www.koelnklavier.de/texte/komponisten/moz-kv218.html|publisher=koelnklavier.de|access-date=5 April 2016}}</ref> It is not related to Mozart's ulterior stay in Strasbourg (1778), where he gave three concert performances on the piano.
* [[Havergal Brian]]'s Symphony No. 7 was inspired by passages in Goethe's memoirs recalling his time spent at Strasbourg University. The work ends with an orchestral bell sounding the note E, the strike-note of the bell of Strasbourg Cathedral. 
* British [[art punk|art-punk]] band [[The Rakes]] had a minor hit in 2005 with their song "Strasbourg". This song features witty lyrics with themes of espionage and vodka and includes a count of 'eins, zwei, drei, vier!!', even though Strasbourg's [[spoken language]] is French.
* On their 1974 album ''Hamburger Concerto'', Dutch progressive band [[Focus (band)|Focus]] included a track called "La Cathédrale de Strasbourg", which included chimes from a cathedral-like bell.
