Canon 5, Op. 56 Click to Listen [2:33]
This is the most pianistic of the Canons, and resembles a Scherzo. The original organ could never be made to sound this way, since the combinations were used rapidly to achieve the Sforzando effects asked for by the composer. It's the virtual equivalent of second touch on a theater organ. Instrument: The Casavant Frères organ (opus 2871) at St. George's Memorial Anglican Church Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (1966) - Samples by Ken Bales
