I have never like organ music. Every time I hear it in church I think of that scene from the old planet of the apes movies where the human survivors are worshiping the bomb and then reveal their true selves by removing their false faces to expose the radiation burns.
It just sort of creeps me out.

You’ve never attended high mass in a church with a pipe organ.

I play the organ (including the pedals). It’s not called the King Of Instruments for nothing.

Planet of the Apes? I would understand better if you'd said it was the Dr. Phibes movies...
I admit going to see an organ concert with the Great Organ in the Methuen Memorial Music Hall. Lovely mid-19th century organ originally commissioned for Boston, until tastes changed and the BSO came into being.

I don’t mind organ music, and can enjoy it if the organist is young enough. I’m of the belief that as older organists lose hearing in the higher ranges, they just pull out the stops a bit further to compensate. And when played like that, it sounds like someone is torturing cats. They don’t seem to hear the screams, but it can drive me from the church.
