"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" is a famous musical composition for the organ. Composed by the Baroque maestro Bach, the piece is regarded as being the virtuoso's signature. Renowned for its regal and majestic resonance, dramatic command and titular opening motif, this piece  reveals the mastery of the performer's "touch" upon the organ's keys through its poignant and swiftly paced arpeggios. In western culture, the piece has developed an association with horror movies.

The famous prelude to "Die Walküre" is the "Ride of the Valkyries". As an exceptional piece to unveil an opera about female Norse archetypes with powers to condemn the fate of war soldiers, "Ride of the Valkyries" is revered for its climatic and invigorating nature, deeming it popular and best suited among many films and TV productions.
