Well, "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" sounds so much better on an organ (played by someone like E. Power Biggs) than it ever did in that smarmy orchestral version that Disney did.

When I was going to Seattle First Baptist, the organist would always do a classical piece as a recital after the church had time to empty after the service. A sizeable crowd always hung around to listen. It was a treat.

How funny how few have mentioned bagpipes. Let me be one of the first to say that the hurdygurdy is very hard to take for long periods of time (say, more than 3 seconds). Very screechy.
