Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
Toccata and Fugue In D Minor | ||||||
|
One of the most popular organ pieces ever composed is Toccata and Fugue In D Minor (BWV 565), traditionally ascribed to Johann Sebastian Bach, though some scholars think it is misattributed. This particular tune is often seen when a game calls for a more spooky mood due to the song's appearance in horror-related pop-culture.
Some of the other videogame tracks, such us Bach Bach, are based on this classic tune.

You'll hear Toccata and Fugue In D Minor upon entering Dracula's castle on the island in the center of the poisoned lake. Despite Dracula being a classic villain, he's disappointingly easy to vanquish in this game. The song is Sound.003 in the game files.
Both versions of the tune have been recorded, the 3 voice version and the PC speaker version.
