Dramatic music has deep roots in our classical tradition. It is something that is richly influenced by culture which is interesting.

A typical example is Carmina Burana, which qualifies as the 'most damn German thing ever' to me.

It's not exclusively about the pipe organ but think people on Youtube refer to examples of it as 'Epic Music', often inspired by visuals from film or gaming. If you search 'epic music' there are a huge number of channels dedicated to it.

Here's a Japanese example:

And the most famous example from my country:

By Carmina Burana, you mean the Carl Orff version? Because that's basically unrelated to the Medieval piece. Definitely "richly influenced by modern culture", compared to the original.

There's a ton of music actually written for the organ which is quite interesting, in a variety of styles.
