My husband Tom and his organist friend known as “Quasi” light up the night with Emperor’s Fanfare by Antonio Soler. This one will blow your hair back if the volume is turned up. (Audio begins at 14 seconds in.) This sound is why they call the organ the King of Instruments and the trumpet, the Instrument of Kings. You can almost see the Emperor and his train trailing down the aisle…
P.S. To musical purists, I know, I know, you don’t have to tell me that the piece was originally a delicate little Baroque thing until E. Power Biggs got hold of it.
