Ciacona in C minor, BuxWV 159 Click to Listen [6:55]
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: The Casavant Frères organ (opus 2871) at St. George's Memorial Anglican Church Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (1966) - Samples by Ken Bales
