J. S. Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor

for symphony orchestra




Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor unfolds like a gothic horror film. The Toccata erupts in a storm of ghostly chords and impassioned flourishes, while the Fugue moves with a methodical malice—a shadowy figure taking shape in sound. This advanced-intermediate symphonic arrangement provides both performer and audience with a compelling and rewarding musical experience.
