Game shot, hunt ended


Double post. Sorry. Wanted to keep my intro post separate.

I've finally found out the name to a piece of classical music for the organ that I've been wanting to know for about three years now. It's in movies a lot, usually in movies with evil scientists and impeding dooms and things like that. An fellow orchestra ensemble member thought it was from Bach, and she was right! After visiting the Bach section of Kick Ass Classical: The Most Popular Classical Music, I finally found the "Tocatta et Fuga in D Minor"!

Here are two online sheet-musics (strange plural) for your perusal: 1 and 2. If you're music-illiterate, here's a youtube video.



Bach also wrote a lot of other nice pieces besides the Tocatta et Fuga. I like his two-part inventions, in particular, and the Mass in B Minor.

But Brahms and Debussy are still the masters. In my opinion, anyway.
