Slightly faster version of the other similarly named piece, this one has an extra sense of urgency, but still retains the mystery and wonder bits.

Gimme a C; a bouncy C! Fun, quirky, off key off colour piece with a few different feels in the middle.

J. S. Bach's most famous organ piece. BWV 565. (Beckerath German baroque pipe organ)
08:41
A humorous piano piece! No surprises, but speeding up towards the abrupt ending.
00:29
Almost New Orleans-style; almost march. This is the faster embellished version of the piano solo "Breaktime" (found elsewhere on this site).
01:47
A slow waltz with a beautiful and haunting melody played mostly in the higher registers. A few notes were added to Satie?s composition to keep things interesting and give the music a more full sound, the music ends with a very dark chord. This music is sad and tragic, and could be used as accompaniment to a slow dance or an art house film. Composed by Erik Satie.
02:25
Ascending and descending chromatic scales gives this piece an air of mischief; perfectly suited for a cartoon. It has moments of tenuous fluidity, rapid motion, and a touch of suspense, making it perfect for the classic scene where the hero is sneaking past the sleeping giant.
02:30
Comedic and playful, this rag-time ditty has a strong melody, and is heavy in the bass chords. The second minute features flighty finger-work, as if an energetic bee is flying up and down the scales. The last thirty seconds is a refrain of the introduction, and the piece ends with an invigorating flourish.
02:00
Happy, peppy, vibraphone piece. Sounds like the late 1950's or early 1960's. You can download this in uncompressed format here! Download comes with individual tracks so you can make your own mixes.
03:51
The melody for this piece is in the bass keys, while the high notes play a headache-splitting constant rhythm. At the one-minute mark the high-pitched notes drop several octaves to play a crunched staccato before returning to the previous theme. The last thirty seconds feature drawn out chords, and the tempo slows dramatically, ending with frustrated trills in both registers, signaling the demise of the villain.
01:52
This piece is dramatic and very dynamic; in the beginning and towards the end the music is soft and tender, but it is punctuated by aggressive changes in volume and minor chords throughout. This piece could work well to depict grief, as the emotions and feelings are similarly mercurial. Composed by Erik Satie.
02:39
Background ragtime feel that won't attract attention to itself.
03:15
If naming tracks is so easy, you try it! Possibly sneaking, possibly comedic dialog, possibly comedic dialog while sneaking...
01:10
The classic ragtime ditty of Scott Joplin, perfect for a silent film of whimsy and humor. The piece begins with a short intro, then plays the bouncy rhythm of with a bright plodding beat. At the end of the third minute, the pace quickens, and leads into a darker refrain, but the jolly melody returns for the finale.
