I'm looking for an mp3 of the orchestral piece Toccata and Fugue in d minor. There's versions of it on youtube but I'm looking for a slower version, the one that played at the beginning of the movie tales from the crypt (1972). Would anyone have it? My e-mail address is: [email protected]. You can send it there.

Every time I hear this I think of the movie ROLLERBALL. The original, not the horrible remake. Plus I think its in the video game Castlevania. Either way I hope you find a slow version, when you do please share it.

Well, I found a discussion HERE discussing the artist that performed the piece for that movie.

And a link HERE where you could buy an album on vinyl that contains the piece.

But, yeah, I'm not finding that exact performance online.

Good luck.

I found that album on the British iTunes site and it is NOT the same as the intro. Sounds like the only way to get the intro is to find a copy of the soundtrack to the movie.

You could always find a good copy and then massage it in a audio editor like Audacity. Audacity allows you to change pitch and tempo as well as speed up and slow down audio files.

I have a copy played on a pipe organ, but no idea if it's what you're looking for?

If you cannot find that particular version, there is always this hauntingly beautiful rendition by Nox Arcana, off of Legion of Shadows:

Who is it by? Is it the slower version?

 

[SpiderWitch]

umm...JS Bach?
Seriously, I don't know- it's a compilation CD my husband put together. Slower than what? How about I just send them to you- if it's too fast, maybe you can slow it down...

The entire movie is on YouTube here:

The first 3 minutes of Toccata and Fugue in D minor is played without interruption.

Depending on the browser that you use, you can find several plug-ins that will record the soundtrack from YouTube videos to .mp3 format.

Then, you can use Audacity to extract those first 3 minutes into a file of their own.

The version you are looking possibly from Disney's Fantasia?

 

[jimsmith]

No it's from tales from the crypt 1972. Someone already posted here it's by nicolas kynaston.

Spiderwitch, just watch the first few minutes of tales from the crypt 1972. As a matter of fact watch the whole thing it'll do ya a lot of good!
