This track is a very famous piece of music, but not too many people know what it is. It's by Purcell who lived in the 17th century and died at only 36. It is the Rondeau from Abdelazar, which was a sort of Arabian opera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrDypNgvHMI&feature=related
Here it is played in a very old Cornish church on a real organ - none of that nasty electronic stuff! I used to hear such organs regularly during weekly family visits to church on Sunday mornings.
