Bach`s scary horror cathedral pipe intro

[evalex71]

This one of my favorite songs of classical music but except for Beethoven's 9th symphony

[spartenalpha]

Imagine this... as Dubstep.

[lilsisasu]

It's funny. I've been obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera for a while now and today I was just looking up the name of this song because of listening to all things phantom's intro. And of course, this is the first video I click on and the first picture I see is the Phantom of the Opera original advertisement picture.

[1821aftershock]

fucking vampires man

[mfbinc]

JOHN A THAN!!!!! JOHN A THAN!!!!



[jimamia77]

first heard this piece at a young age while touring St. patrick's Cathedral. It prompted the deceased bishops to awake and come out of their crypts!

[finkployd4658]

I totally believe you...

[RebelKnightCSA]

@jimamia77 Play it in the Vatican, and you might see Pope Formosus come up...again. ;)

[gtazockerable]

[shesselbjerg]

@gtazockerable Toccata and Fugue - in D minor

[Th3NewArt5tudio]

[7Sins92]

[mrsnellou]

[CrazyNative4]

[CrazyNative4]

[NAVH94]

Lady Gaga played part of the song at the Grammys

[commentXrate]

[MrDaneDude]

Please upload the full version. I really need more than 1:45 minutes to tell my evil plans to all of my newly captured world leaders..... Mwuhahahahaha...... World Domination will be mine...... Eeeviiil Eeeeeviiil Eeeeeeeeviiil

[mechwarreir2]

ok the ACTUAL song name is "toccata and fugue in d minor" and it is an EXCELLENT piece. I recommend every one watch the FULL version rather than this 1:45 minute version.

[Purplecatsoup30]

Thumb down for all the fucking uneducated fools who consider this to be "scary" or "creepy" or what the fuck ever. Bach is one of the greatest musical geniuses ever.

[thedrumbum1990]

@Purplecatsoup30 Damn straight man. Music can only get worse from the colossal heights Bach reached.

[Arnadath]

Damn i thought bach was the most religious of them all classic

[gavinfarkas]

Thank you for agreeing

[KittenLovens420]

omg lil cute bear and I love bach he is so great and his music is beautifull yet touching

[GrounderTheRobot]

Spngebob: *shakes arms* BOOHOHOHOOO! I AM THE FLYING DUTCH MAN!

Patrick: I DONT KNOW WHO I AM!

[Zaul1201]

this is one of the most beatiful songs what i heard, just that the media stereotype in horror movies. DAMN, DRACULA RULES!!!

[qazxsw21000]

isn't this just the Toccata part?

[ComposerJMA]

*cough* It's called toccata and fugue...

[punkviolingirl]

I WANT THAT BEAR!

[animegirl271]

0:22 AWWWWW .O. thats cute <3

[ryukencloud]

It's called toccata and fugue, by bach.

[TonyWRO]

its not phantom of the opera fool

[GrounderTheRobot]

HOOOOOO HOOOO!!! I AM THE FLYING DUTCHMAN!!!

[arayaslayer666]

halloweeny :)

[RebornLegacy]

Oh, I recognize that melody

[gavinfarkas]

You all say it's J.S. Bach but it's not it's one of his students pieces that was composed in his honor. During the baroque it was accepted that a student publish work with the master as the composer as a way of honoring them.

[phailez]

@gavinfarkas And you know this how? Did you ask him?

[MsJantje666]

@phailez I study music and I must approve what gavinfarkas says. Since the 1980s scholars have been saying there are some rarities in this piece for bach. E.G.: the first notes are parallel octaves; this is unique in the work of Bach; the harmony of the piece is pretty primtive: in the fugue the countersubjects move through thirds & sixths only and this is extremely rare for a composition of bach.

These are a few examples which prove nothing but no-one will ever know who the real composer is.

[phailez]

@MsJantje666 Don't get me wrong i'm not saying it's impossible for it to not be Bach but without proof I would just keep this piece as one written by him.

[stargirlsusan]

i love this piece and dont see it as creepy horror. just because modern ppl adapt it to scarry movies doesnt meant it is

[xxkewldudexx]

best Chaney pic ever! Could you send me it please?

[Circletwice]

Where is this melody from actually?

[AKAtheA]

@Circletwice it says below the video...

[stargirlsusan]

@Circletwice JSBach tocatta & fugue in d minor

[WurdBendur]

This is Toccata and Fugue in D minor

[maktorri9]

Dark classical, some of the most beautiful music in the world! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2010!!!!

[Ingestedbanjo]

Hey I think the voice sample in that dance crap is from Sonne by Rammstein ^^

[Firiat12]

@Ingestedbanjo YES YES IT IS IM CERTAIN.... I HATE REMIXES!!!!

[Ingestedbanjo]

@Firiat12 Heh. They're alright if they're done well, and I'm in a mood to listen to recycled music.

[petepenguin]

the organ player at church yesterday played this after church and did it PERFECTLY.  No mistakes

[cortana20009]

ya=]

[cortana20009]

i love it =] =] =] = ]

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

u guys could all have just looked up toccata and fugue in d minor lol

[mpstrong01]

with out the dance crap at the end was perfec

[badbav33]

Really didn't need the dance crap at the end

[RaymanMr70]

johann sebatian bach was a music jeanous

[psychorob2005]

you kinda ruined it at the end

[Bluehawk2008]

Th ending of the fugue is the very best part, not so much the beginning of the Toccata :P

[95Hell95]

0:06 oooh, wie hübsch!!! wunderschön!! xD

[mikeylama]

wowcapro, could you please tell me the name of the song, that can be heard at the and of the video? Thanks a lot. it is rammstein, but wich one?

[demrandom]

@mikeylama sonne

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Not "scary" in and of itself, although i must admit the unrelenting minor key, the driving rhythm and the huge diminished seventh chords .... ok, its pretty scary i'll admit, lol!!

[charisaob]

this is not scary or horor, this is beauty, a great masterpiece.

[DubiaFluctuant]

This music is not scarry just ignorant people think is scary for some movies that have made a bad image of this wonderful melody.

[JonRattlehead]

@DubiaFluctuant i think you may be rite up to a point but it does have a very dark sound wich is why ppl associat it with horror/scary stuff

[Lesterdevin]

@DubiaFluctuant chill out its not a bad thing tight waud

[beatlesmack9]

The fugue is better than the toccatta.

[NiiBean]

phantom of the opera = world's best broadway show, movie, songs and everything. i want that teddy bear so bad.

[nightmare445]

Toccata and fugue in d Minor

[shellybelly1121]

This is amazing

[SADxBOY1]

I JUST HAD TO FAVORITE THIS VIDEO =]

[MissAshleyKaulitz]

the second picture made me laugh xD wtf is that xD

[menslady125]

@azerial1337:

Uh...no. That's Lon Chaney as the Phantom of the Opera.

[gruulam]

@MissAshleyKaulitz thats the old original mask from phantom of the opera

[anatolx]

dude the phnatom of the opera is so weird looking i dont know that story but this is an awesome organ peice!

[PunkRockerJohnny]

Can't it be sorta dark *and* beautiful?

[Viridianscarab]

Dude, that is J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

By the way, that is not scary at all, if you have ever been to a real organ performance, you would understand. Just the awe at hearing the organ play, and when it reaches the lower notes, it shakes your entire body and sends a stream of constant adrenaline through your body. Listening to an organ play this song is not frightening... it is pure extacy.

And the organ, being such a mighty size, can sound so beautiful, just boggles the mind.

[DrMadrigal]

this piece was written, like most of bach's music, for the church. nothing in it was intended to be sinister in any way, shape or form. it's a gorgeous piece and a rotten shame our culture automatically attaches such dark images to it

[MJimiD]

@DrMadrigal Thank you!

[Viridianscarab]

I totally agree with you. This is a piece of beauty, not a piece of fright.

Correct me if i am wrong, but this piece was made during the Renaissance era. Which means that it was made for beauty and tranquility, not fear and harshness.

Since this piece was made for the church, think if he came in there with a piece that sounded like the devil was on their doorstep, the pope would probably exile him!

For Beauty's sake, please rearrange your thoughts about this piece of art, and think beauty.

[DrMadrigal]

(bach lived wrote during the baroque period, which came after renaissance)

[titojack8]

meh, i think of it more in the way of how astonishing it is that these simple sound waves can create real emotions in the human mind. i mean, like it or not, when you hear this piece, you can't help but get goosebumps. cool stuff, IMO.

[asamstr]

Evil organ songs are always the best.

[NICKRITZER]

have this as my sisters ringtone!! hahaha

[ysbaddaden2003]

Sorry I meant to say Prelude and Fugue in G Minor.

[eameece]

Actually, the Fantasy and Fugue in G Minor, S. 542.

[Basiltyne]

The Late Great Lon Chaney Snr the man of a thousand faces, very much as relevant today as ever. None of the poor excuses of actors we have today could ever compare themselves to the Great Chaney. He was the Phantom.

[diemen10]

idots

[CopperPudding]

nice, acutally. what's the name?

[ysbaddaden2003]

@CopperPudding

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

There's another one by Bach almost as good and almost as famous Prelude and Fugue in G Major.

[mahler151]

Might I ask what the point in not even posting the entire Toccata was?

[MacWogg]

Listen to the toc and fugue in d on the baroque organ from Lesazk church in Poland. Medieval organ does a super rendition.

[mahler151]

Aye, will do. thanks.

[rage7446]

wow 1:12 that could work for a great guitar solo

[0mistaja]

what is the axel coon vocal sample? where is it from?

[mortinus00]

How can this not be a good song it obviously inspired the entire music theme that is the castlevania series!

[markussr]

What music is the second part of this?

[koxomaluko]

the piece has been used for other purposes, that not terror flicks. last one i remember was scorsese 's aviator, in the scene where the plane crashes.

i do however think that it is a sad thing to let such a beautiful piece fall into the category of stereotype.

[markussr]

thats like amazing grace, such an incredible song about redemption and people always associate it with funerals. awesome story on how it came about!

[Jourell1]

Honestly I don't consider Toccata and fugue a really scary piece or not deliberately so. I think we just consider it "dark" or "scary" because it was used so frequently in horror movies.

[shimeonmorpheus]

i agree its more epic not scary,

[Pixiesnix]

For some reason, whenever I hear this song (after the intro) I keep expecting the organ player to switch to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

[ChaosRayZero]

Ha! =^D

I keep expecting the bgm from the haunted castle level in Donkey Kong 64. =^p

[FenrirInBarnsley]

isnt this actually by jan michel jarre?

[chinaskies]

ty permitted.. ive ben looking my whole life for this songs name

[deanfreak9110]

LOL i like the teady bear!

[Zephyros94]

@deanfreak9110 x2 with the music in the background, it was so unrealistic

[PermitedOffense]

This is actually called Toccata and fugue in d minor, not sure if anyone has already said it was but i  dont care to look.

[MorkaGraven]

I play it in e minor just to aggravate people.

[deanfreak9110]

LOL i got to try that! sounds like fun!

[bubbaXzone]

lmao really? Thats a-some

Do it in E Major!!!! to really piss them off lol

[GBHTheVulture]

i don't get why this is knows as the phantom of the opera song, it's not in any of the phantom films i've seen

[JuyoNi]

i dont think any of you have heard the rest of the song if you think the whole thing is scary... because the fugue is in a major key...

[TheBeatlesRock4ever]

I almost made a heart attack when I saw the guy at 0:06 !

[armorkillerz]

yes toccata and fugue hhmmm one of my faveorite from bach J.S.Bach Very Hauntaing and very nice lolz i think this also comes in violin also yes it does

[standimitri]

the darkness draws closer....every time i hear this tune thats the line i have stuck in my head...

[darkshadyfigure]

Ah yes, the Toccata and Fugue in d minor. It's a classic =)

[BlindIllusionRules]

Why all the fucking Phantom Of The Opera pictures? Bach didn't have anything to do with that.

[kryl0b]

in one of the movies, the phantom plays it. i think it's the one with Robert Englund.

[kadaj198]

Captain nemo also plays it in 20,000 leagues under the sea. interesting sub note, nemo means no one.

[conected2life]

Just goes to show how little you know.

[ehwfan4life]

what is tat end song part?

[ZeakHellens]

Beautiful...it really makes me feel like i'm truly alive....

[spartacusian08]

This is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Bach wrote this when he was about 18 I think...

[VlilV]

18?

shit he was talented

[GustavAdolphusRex]

performed by none other than the great johannes sebastian bach?????????

[Gordomaster27]

cool

[84fh]

i think the music goes way too fast the original goes slower i think

[wafflemask]

no its not going to fast its right i've heard this before many times it soothes me for some reason but its just me anyways its the correct speed

[Eriksgirl66]

wow, You have my complete attention, I love phantom of the opera, hence the name Erik in my screen name.

[rocknrollbabygirl]

teddy bear cute-muzik scary!

[haydenrules12]

this song is toccata and fugue in d minor performed by none other than the great johannes sebastian bach. this song is actually about 8 minutes and 30 seconds maybe a lil more this is not a scary song. it has no particular meaning but for the enjoyment of the listener. music is a work of art as bach portrayed.

[GustavAdolphusRex]

performed by none other than the great johannes sebastian bach????????

[JaredChacon]

Bach isn't scary, its art!! love it (:

[menslady125]

Aw, what a cute teddy bear...dressed as The Phantom of the Opera!

The Phantom Bear of the Opera!

[SheXDiesXToday]

I love the change to D major. It's just amazing. The best if transitioning it straight into "The Rite of Spring".

[theburiedandmi]

the ending part theres something like a "trans" music. whats that

[vivalabra]

its LAMENTING CITY- AXEL COON

[cenking]

its not from a techno song, its from rammstein "sonne"

[Gordomaster27]

rammstein, tecno? you are crazy!!

[bob26drft]

no, no, he's talking about the credits track at the end. And no, it isn't Rammstein, although the vocal line is copied/sampled from sonne.

[Gordomaster27]

yes, i know it.

i was wrong, because i didnt read it well.

i tougth that he said that rammstein is a techno band

[FaustianDreams]

You have got to be freaking kidding me...Rammstein's Sonne? THis??? What the heck are you on?

[theburiedandmi]

what is the 2nd son

g

[Monco357]

toccata

[krillerdk123321]

LAST song called??

[krillerdk123321]

ahh :)

[GracieMoore]

POTO Teddy bear!!!

[darkshadyfigure]

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

[edwardskeleton]

actually this is just Toccata in D Minor

[Moosh50]

what's the name of this song?

[TrafficMan7]

sounds a lot like that supermario 64 bowser battle

[DrStrangefate]

Yeah i'm sure Koji Kondo took from Bach baroque style organ solos for that one. I too enjoy it.

[suburbanindie]

Correction: the Mario 64 Bowser Battle sounds like THIS.

[TrafficMan7]

Yea I was hoping no one would notice :P

[paintballpunk555]

such a beautiful dark peice of music

[HanatarouDesu]

The bear was so cute... I want to take it home... Q.Q

[retardedidiot]

its not classical, its baroque

[leomulder]

You mean: "It's not 'classic', it's baroque". But it's classical music, of course.

[OldGunRunner]

The teddy Bear will set you back over $300 if you can find one (He was a worldwide limited edition of only 200 units). I agree though, after seeing Lon Cheney Sr. then switching to the Bear in the Phantom costume, it made me laugh.

[allyxxmellow]

whos the dude at 8 sec ?????

[VampirePrince95]

Phantom of the Opera played by Lon Chaney Sr., one of the horror classics

[CapekaYevpraksiya]

The teddy bear made me crack up. XD

[tyuru2]

i dont see how toccata and fuge has anything to do with phantom of the opera

[TheBadBandana]

To the musically illiterati like myself, this is classic "late night horror movie music". I've heard children refer to this piece as "the horror music". The origin of that might be in an early horror film.

[MillyProductions]

this is bachs toccata and fugue bwv 565 i dont know who r23 is but i know that this was written in 1717!!!!!not by r23 by bach

[EXPNGB]

The R32 is a car... a legend, but a car.. Nissan Skyline BNR GT-R32.

The theme im talking about is from when it first appears in Initial D and it sounds a bit like bach and i do know it was written by him. Its a bit unnerving if it was written by a car.. XD cheers

[EXPNGB]

Legend of R does not make it untouchable...

[EXPNGB]

R32 theme... honestly man... R32 stole it from bach...

[EXPNED]

no GB....it was VAMPIRES!!!

[EXPNED]

this sound like the r32 theme.....

[GroveBloodlust]

This is Tocca and Fuge just to let you know.
