Prelude and Fugue in G minor, BuxWV 149 Click to Listen [7:51]
A rollicking precursor to the great organ preludes and fugues of J.S. Bach, but instead of two separate movements, it consists of four contrasting sections, the last of which is an exquisite fugue. Instrument: Schantz/Rodgers, (1966/2000) at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California recorded by Jonathan Orwig

Recorded directly with MIDI-enabled Pipe Organ

Listening to MP3 files is far "greener" than buying CDs, so perhaps a donation is in order; it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.
