Having specifically asked for "bands" seems to be currently ruling out classical composers, including opera people (such as maybe Verdi who has many works that involve history) and people who mainly wrote religious works that involve historical figures from the religion realm.

I would agree, that there are many examples in classical music, but I was thinking more rock n roll / prog / popular music.
