Added by magataganm, 09 Sep 2013 I created this abbreviated version of the Toccata & Fugue in D Minor (attributed to J. S. Bach as BWV 565) for whimsical use during the Halloween time worship service prelude. It is my intention that the organist will don the appropriate costume (mask & cape) and perform this short arrangement during prelude for the “unsuspecting” pastor and the equally surprised congregation. the piece is scored in D minor. It is not in dorian mode as the key signature supposes, as it was common practice in the Baroque period to write in leading tone accidentals rather than in the key signature. It begins with a single-voice flourish in the upper ranges of the keyboard, doubled at the octave. It then spirals toward the bottom, where a diminished seventh chord appears, built one note at a time. This resolves into a D major chord, taken from the parallel major mode. I created this arrangement for the Allen Digital Pipe Organ (Organ Regristration Noted). Sheet central : | Toccata et Fugue en Ré mineur (29 sheet music) | |
