 All hail to the animation of organ music!  I love the Bach Fugue and also 
loved the Beethoven Fugue that Bob posted (thank you bOb). I have never seen 
organ footwork like this before; amazing.

 Note that the low notes are played with the feet! See here:

Anybody who can fit music into a materialist framework simply isn't really 
listening to it.
 

 Case in point:
