Music/JohannSebastianBach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565, is perhaps the single most recognizable piece of pipe organ music in the world - [[StandardSnippet or at least the ominous opening is]].
If there is an OminousPipeOrgan in a HauntedHouse or CreepyCathedral, there's about 80% chances of it playing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho9rZjlsyYY opening bars]] of the Toccata in D Minor, or more of the piece.
There has been some debate as to whether Bach actually wrote the piece at all. The only manuscript of the work that has survived to the present day was penned by Johannes Ringk, who attributes the piece to Bach; this copy also lacks a date, but is thought to have been written somewhere between 1730 and 1735. The work itself contains a number of stylistic anachronisms, such as the large lack of counterpoint in the toccata, the fugue utilizing subdominant rather than dominant answers, and wrapping up on a UsefulNotes/{{plagal cadence}}, among others. (Then again, the later styles had to draw their inspiration from ''somewhere'' -- [[TropeCodifier perhaps they drew their inspiration from this piece, and Bach actually started it all!]]) Another theory is that it was written down poorly by one of Bach's students. Another school of thought holds that it may have been originally written for solo violin (possibly by Bach but likely by another unknown composer), and then transcribed by Bach for the organ; several attempts to reconstruct the piece in this manner have been produced. Bach's most recent biographer Christoph Wolff believes that it's definitely by Bach, but that its stylistic oddities can be explained by its being an [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness early work]].
Note that Bach actually wrote ''two'' sets of pieces entitled ''Toccata and Fugue in D minor,'' but the second (BWV 538) is set apart by its toccata being in the Dorian mode (using a key signature usually used for A minor, i.e. no sharps or flats) for the majority of its duration, a component which gives BWV 538 the "Dorian" nickname in the music world. The fugue is, however, in the traditional natural minor scale (Aeolian mode). This piece is, of course, nowhere near as well-known as BWV 565.
!!Examples of works featuring the Toccata:
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In the original ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' anime, Eudial plays the opening chords after luring Sailors Uranus and Neptune into a church filled with traps.
* In ''Manga/InitialD'', the song "Back on the Rocks" (played during the race with Nakazato's GT-R) starts with the opening chords of the piece. It got reused in Fourth Stage during Keisuke's race against "God Foot" Kozo Hoshino.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Audio Plays]]
* ''Chords of Chaos/Pony of the Opera'', the second two-parter story of ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures'', featuring a music-themed villain, uses the Toccata as his {{Leitmotif}}.

[[folder:Board Games]]
* The cassette tape board game ''Shrieks & Creeks'' plays this in the background during the audio instructions.

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcB-6L_b9Hk A fully orchestrated, but slightly truncated version]] serves as the centerpiece of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'''s first segment, [[DisneyAcidSequence set to increasingly trippy visuals]].
* This is what the Grand Duke of Owls plays in his lair in ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' in one scene.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea'': Captain Nemo has a pipe organ onboard the Nautilus, and plays the Toccata along with a good deal of improvisation.
* 1962's ''Film/{{The Phantom of the Opera|1962}}'' was the first adaptation of the Gaston Leroux novel to add the music piece.
* ''Film/TheGreatRace'': Professor Fate has a pipe organ in his mansion, complete with the requisite rendition of the Toccata. Played with in that it's a ''player'' pipe organ — all he does is pump the pedals.
* Got [[https://youtu.be/Ib7dvw5oCps remixed]] in the soundtrack of ''Film/OceansEight'', although without the opening bars.
* In ''Film/SevenFacesOfDrLao'', Dr. Lao presents "The Fall of the City" at his circus. The Toccata portion plays as the city is being destroyed by lava.
* ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'': This music plays during the "Boys Vs. Masters" rugby match.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'', the Toccata plays in Phoenix's nightmare sequence at the beginning [[spoiler:(as well as its DarkReprise near the end of the game, where he learns the truth about Matt Engarde)]]. When he wakes up, he realizes it is the ringtone of a cell phone that was left with him for some reason [[spoiler:and which ends up being a key piece of evidence in the first case: the phone in question belonged to the culprit, who took Phoenix's identical-looking phone by mistake when he beaned him upside the head and gave him amnesia with the intent of making him lose the case.]]
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'': The Toccata can be heard on the radio. The BigBad Zinyak hates it when people call it "the Dracula song," to the point of [[FelonyMisdemeanor executing anybody who does]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Peggle}}'' plays the first three notes when you obtain the Spooky Ball powerup. The next six notes play when the powerup takes effect.
* ''Mutant League Hockey'': Randomized snippets of the first few bars play during face-offs.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': In arguably the greatest piece of video game music of all time, the epic final boss theme "Dancing Mad", the third movement takes heavy inspiration from Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. And by "heavy inspiration" we mean "entire sections of the melody lifted directly from Bach."
* Both arcade and NES versions of ''Gyruss'' plays the eponymous music as you shoot at the alien ships and satellites.
* ''VideoGame/TheBattleOfOlympus'' plays it in the gods' temples.
* The NES UnlicensedGame ''Castle of Deceit'' uses the Fugue part for boss battles.
* ''VideoGame/GhoulSchool'' uses a condensed version in the Basement, the game's final area.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "Phantom of the Telethon", as part of Roger's [[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Phantom of the Opera-style]] persona that he took on to sabotage Stan's telethon, he orders a pipe organ but ends up with just an electric keyboard that plays the Toccata in a ska style.
* In the Francophone world, it's known for being the theme song for the edutainment show ''WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois l'Homme'' (''Once Upon a Time... Man''), rendered by a MOOG synthesizer. Notwithstanding the educational purpose of the show, the intro fully embraces the tune's horror associations. The intro starts with a sequence of evolutions that come to create mankind and then it shows various cultures and eras mankind has experienced, giving the whole a chaotic and dramatic feel but nothing "bad" so far. In the final seconds, the intro makes a prediction that soon mankind will fall to chaos, will turn on each other, and will have to leave Earth as its destruction rapidly approaches. Only a few will survive.

* In the Francophone world, it's known for being the theme song for the edutainment show ''WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois l'Homme'' (''Once Upon a Time... Man''). Notwithstanding the educational purpose of the show, the intro fully embraces the tune's horror associations. The intro starts with a sequence of evolutions that come to create mankind and then it shows various cultures and eras mankind has experienced, giving the whole a chaotic and dramatic feel but nothing "bad" so far. In the final seconds, the intro makes a prediction that soon mankind will fall to chaos, will turn on each other, and will have to leave Earth as its destruction rapidly approaches. Only a few will survive.
