Quote from: Roasted Swan on January 16, 2025, 05:27:13 AMThere is a very fine version of the Roman Empire Overture on an old Unicorn recording slightly improbably conducted by Sir David Willcocks and the Royal College of Music Orchestra.  Opulent recording and no allowances required for a nominally student orchestra;


Brilliant! Thanks - will look out for it.

The first chords and the opening of the Judex crederis movement in Berlioz' Te Deum. Hair-raising stuff.

You just did!  ;D   Yes, the opening itself is an excellent example!

The low C on an organ pedal is part of the start of Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss: the organ is used to great effect throughout the work.

Another favorite came to mind: the ghostly Roman army returning down the Via Appia in Respighi'sThe Pines of Rome uses an organ!
