Rossini - William Tell Overture (Finale)

A dark, apocalyptic symphony with orchestra, choir, organ, and drums. Explosive motifs, whispered chants, and epic climaxes make it a viral, cinematic masterpiece.

SAINT-SAËNS: Dance Macabre (Waltz)

"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.
