...So I say, thank you !! And also I say church organs aren't bound to rule at playing parts from the pre-industrial era.


Now did anybody long for some clashing / roaring devices on any of those renderings ? 




Here's my try with the added layers...

BWV 651 is told to be a favorite of Joseph Ratzinger...

...Now how about heavy rock gear on it (re-uploaded with some flaws fixed)



Wouldn't Joseph Emeritus bet on a quieter call ?

Is it ok if I add to this?
 
When it came out, I do not think it was that great ... and even my own father who already had over 3k LP's of classical music from the earliest to the latest, made the comment that it looked like something for a fair and fun a lot more than it was designed to be "classical" music. I agreed, actually, though my dad misinterpreted Tomita later because of it!
 
As represented in the Stanley Kubrick film, it made more sense, as it was used almost as a cartoon, and not a meaningful piece of music compared to the other pieces used in that film and his film before that.
 
I've never thought that it was serious music, but it helped bring classical music out a bit more to the "masses", while also making people better acquainted with the synthesizer and its sound ... and that helped, eventually, make the "progressive" new bands sound better and the sound more acceptable. Which consequently fueled what became known as "progressive" because of so much synth work ... and specially solos.
 
But the best mix for me, is pretty much around a lot of the folk music bands in England and its northern areas, where they mix anything with everything, and you get some nice mixes, and then one day you get Steeleye Span and feedback and you wonder if the sky fell off the mountain or something!
 
And of course, there is always Gryphon, whose music was used in a National Theater production and helped it gain fame for the band and the production itself! But then, the National Theater needed no introduction and has a history of ... gads ... I have to look, but it's more than 75, and might even be 100 years!
Some old holy curmudgeon said from his holy trinity of a chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... is always better sex for your and your lover!
