"Loud/Quiet" Game

"I've Been To London"
On the left, under song list, scroll down to song #50. It's called "I've Been to London." This song was first published in 1906 and was sung as a celebration song at the end of a harvest. The farmers would gather, eat, celebrate, and sing.

Johann Sebastian Bach

"Toccata and Fugue
in d minor"
This is one of Bach's most famous pieces and he composed it for organ in around 1708. Over the years, it has often been used in silent as well as scary movies. The original music was lost, so it was passed on through manuscripts written down by Bach's students. Click on the link below to watch an organist perform this piece by Bach. Do you recognize the melody?
