Ciacona in C minor, BuxWV 159 Click to Listen, [6:42]
Unlike Buxtehude's more famous Passacaglio in D minor, the pedal theme does not repeat throughout the entire piece, since a ciacona relies more on a harmonic progression than the constant repetition of a single theme in the bass line. Instrument: Casavant, Opus 3246 (1975) at Grace Lutheran Church, Champaign, Illinois - Samples by Brett Milan
