Bach - Fugue in G Major (The Jig)
E. Power Biggs, organist

A slow crescendo to a happy ending.

Bach - Toccata in F Major, BWV 540
E. Power Biggs, organist

Recorded from an LP. He was playing the organ of the St-Bertrand-de-Comminges Cathedral (in the Haute Garonne area in France):

Bach - Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582
E. Power Biggs playing the Pedal Harpsichord

I liked how this somber yet spirited music surprised me with its delicacy, such as at 6:00 when the harpsichord sounds unexpectedly like an acoustic guitar...

Francois Couperin - Fanfare and Rondeau
E Power Biggs, organist

performed in the Abbey Church Marmoutier, France.
A light song, this one sounds to me like an ensemble of many block flute or recorder players.
