Need Help With Organ Songs

Im trying to find some good organ solo's but sadly im finding it quite difficult since im looking principly for darker organ solo's i would love it if anyone could offer some help

ps: As well im also looking for classical guitar songs which mantain the same dark resonance (for example of what i mean by darker sort of like the dark guitar song in MTW2 though i dont have example for organ

Organ you ask, Bach I commend.
You probably already know his Toccata and Fuga, but there's loads more.

And errm, a "dark" sounding classical guitar seems something I've never heard. But I know very little classical guitar music.

and better. (and less probably apocryphal, and more probably initially written for the organ) BWV 574, Fugue on a theme by Legrenzi, for exemple, much tighter, purer contrapunctic writing
For a theoretical, yet beautiful display of Bach's contrapunctic technique : Die Kunst der Fugue
for simpler yet introspective music : the Chorals for Organ
for a lighter mood: trio sonatas for organ.
By whom ? depends, even for artists who have recorded complete organ works, each have their strongpoints for some type of works, and are weaker (though still good, if they are household names) in some others: some good names: Walcha (old, but still good), Marie Claire Alain (who recorded like 3 complete sets) André Isoire (check his Kunst der Fugue), Michel Chapuis , Ton Koopman...


I'd recommend also:

Buxtehude. (One of Bach's masters) _Vernet's integrale is awesome
Jean Alain, for more recent stuff.

very good info thanks, But i still do need some good classical dark quitar, again the best common example ofthis would be the one in MTW2

Guitar, or any plucked string instrument ?

i suppose almost any
