Inspired by the fourth movement of the first Mexican Symphony composed in 1882

To quote one commenter on the recording of the Richard Castro Herrera Symphony...

What a strong personality Ricardo Castro shows here! He was nineteen years old, if I correctly capture dates here. Chapeau! Uploaded recording may not render at its best the quality of this Symphony, but - thanks God - Bom Cadedal elected to proffer it to his "unsung masterworks" hungry followers. Out of curiosity, should anyone be familiar with Sergio Leone Italian-style wild-west movies, please go listen the famous jingle of "For a few Dollars More" and then please compare it with the theme of the Symphony's final movement. I am pretty sure that Ennio Morricone had listened to Castro's symphony before 1965 (when movie was broadcasted) and got inspired by such theme. C'mon, it can't be a simple coincidence as Leone's movie is set in the vague border between Mexico and USA, typical of wild-west movies ambient. What better opportunity to use a theme of an obscure Mexican musician of Porfirian age and adapt it to generate the fabulous, enchanting, exciting, inspiring jingle that accompanies spectators along all the 2 hours and a half of Sergio Leone masterpiece.

Possibly the earliest transcription of the Star Wars theme music ever, this organ transcription came out in 1977. The person who uploaded it to YouTube left a detailed comment of which I've quoted part below.

Much like synthesizers today can mimic any number of band instruments and arrangements, organs with a large number of pipes can mimic the sounds of an orchestra. In the nineteenth century orchestral scores rewritten for the organ were an inexpensive alternative at a time when there was no recorded music.

Sorry i didn't saw you posted it here.
But the version in science-fiction-cover-art seems to be longer and better quality.

Please (a. repost the link in this thread. (b. delete the post in 'Science Fiction Cover Art'.

I'd have asked you privately, but since you don't allow private conversations...

This one was used in several movies such as The Secret of My Success (w/ Michael J. Fox) and Ferris Buller's Day Off back in the 90's

Not only was it used in at least one classic Manga Entertainment ad, but Yello tracks were also used in the soundtrack for the UK release (Manga UK) of Space Adventure Cobra.
