Basically, the exception which proves the rule.
I sincerely doubt most folks could name other titles which prominently feature organ as a focal instrument in a work. There's more, of course, but Interstellar tends to be people's first example.
- rwmj 4y agoQuite a few according to this list: https://www.hirten.com/the-pipe-organ-on-film/ https://www.hirten.com/the-pipe-organ-on-film/ The Abominable Dr. Phibes is an absolute classic.

- tzs 4y agoTheme from Rollerball [1]? [1] Yes, I know it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, but cptcobalt said "name" not "recognize", and while a vast majority have probably heard Toccata and Fugue in D Minor I'd guess most of them don't know that is its name. They will name it after somewhere they heard it used. Similar to Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra. Everyone has heard it but I bet most people would name it as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

- tgv 4y agoWell, if you like classical music ... there are some organ concertos. There's e.g. a modern-ish one by Poulenc (but melodic, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsFsBNAmCd0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsFsBNAmCd0), and a romantic one by Saint-Saens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrO47WJKTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrO47WJKTI), and there are baroque organ concertos by Handel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RNUsN0Kh3A&list=OLAK5uy_k1uG2eAAArt43lTUMjxdMX4oD1Z2zAMk4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RNUsN0Kh3A&list=OLAK5uy_k1u...).
- ginko 4y agoThere's of course In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfpn3wHoNGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfpn3wHoNGA Plenty of other stuff if you look for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVJt39mFUA&list=OLAK5uy_mTEMbywwK9gpqJ0-t2ra4WIzd8Ot3YLog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVJt39mFUA&list=OLAK5uy_mTE... Not to mention the tons and tons of secular Classical music, particular from the Baroque era like Händel's organ concertos.
- recursive 4y agoIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida definitely doesn't have a pipe organ. It's a vox or farfisa.
- toast0 4y agoSounds pretty nice on a church organ though; in high school, I played in the orchestra for honors district graduation at the Crystal Cathedral[1], and the organist would play some riffs during rehearsal. [1] Now renamed as the Christ Cathedral, I assume it's still amazingly hot and stuffy when the sun comes out, ugh, what a terrible venue. :P

- booknotefinder 4y agoKali Malone’s “The Sacrificial Code” is my favorite musical find of the last year, and is entirely on pipe organ. Very mysterious and meditative. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZqFa0Qiro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZqFa0Qiro For a midcentury, modal, classical bent, I love the music of Rayner Brown, who was a church organist in Pasadena. Recordings are rare but worth it to track down. There are a few good examples on YouTube; here’s one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xL8p-MuwzDY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xL8p-MuwzDY In that same vein, Leo Sowerby: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9O55UTNhHk4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9O55UTNhHk4

- jacquesm 4y agoI think that's just because it is recent. But there is plenty more.
