=== Classical music === * The [[mass (music)|masses]] of [[Jacob Obrecht]], which sometimes combine popular tunes, [[plainsong]] and original music. * The last (thirtieth) variation of [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]'s ''[[Goldberg Variations]]'' is a quodlibet. * [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]'s [[Quodlibet, BWV 524|''Wedding Quodlibet'']] or ''Quodlibet'', which is not a quodlibet by the above definition but a ten-minute procession of nonsense, jokes, [[pun]]s, obscure cultural references, [[word game]]s, and parody of other songs. At times, the music imitates a [[chaconne]] and a [[fugue]] while deliberately obscuring the counterpoint. It is unlike any of Bach's other works, though the sole surviving source is a [[fair copy]] manuscript in Bach's own handwriting. * ''[[Gallimathias musicum]]'', a 17-part quodlibet composed by [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] at the age of ten. * [[Louis Moreau Gottschalk]] combined "[[Hail, Columbia]]" and "[[Yankee Doodle]]" at the end of his piano piece, ''The Union''. * [[Symphony No. 4 (Ives)|Symphony No. 4]] of [[Charles Ives]], like most of Ives' music, includes frequent popular and band tunes which unfold independently from the rest of the music. * Scherzo from [[Charles Ives]]' piano trio labeled "TSIAJ" (This scherzo is a joke), includes the American fraternity tunes "My Old Kentucky Home", "Sailor's Hornpipe", "The Campbells Are Coming", "Long, Long Ago", "Hold the Fort", and "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood", among others.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kirkpatrick|first=John|date=1984|title=Critical Commentary|url=http://www.charlesives.org/critical_commentary/cc3.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050311215705/http://www.charlesives.org/critical_commentary/cc3.htm|archive-date=2005-03-11|access-date=|website=Wayback Machine}}</ref> * ''Quodlibet on Welsh Nursery Rhymes'' by Welsh composer [[Alun Hoddinott]]. * Pianist [[Glenn Gould]] improvised a quodlibet including "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" and "[[God Save the King]]".<ref name=gould-levendis>{{cite web |url=http://bopuc.levendis.com/weblog/archives/-2005/10/10/1955_glenn_gould_remixes_live_on_piano.php |title=bopuc/weblog: 1955, Glenn Gould remixes live, on piano<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> According to his account, Gould came up with this quodlibet while taking a bath.<ref name=gould-levendis /> * [[Peter Schickele]]'s ''Quodlibet for Small Orchestra'', ''Unbegun Symphony'', ''Eine Kleine Nichtmusik'', and others. * [[Allan Sherman]]'s "Variations on [[How Dry I Am]]" from the album "[[Peter and the Commissar]]". * ''[[Fantasia on Auld Lang Syne]]'' (1976) by [[Ernest Tomlinson]]. The composer claims that the piece references 129 works.<ref>Grant, M.J (2021). ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=w8tUEAAAQBAJ&dq=Fantasia+on+Auld+Lang+Syne+Tomlinson&pg=PT134 Auld Lang Syne: A Song and its Culture]'', end of Section 7.3</ref>
