I have to agree about the boring nature of those organ pieces. To tell the truth, while I am a huge Bach fan, I rarely want to listen to any of his organ music. I find much of it, including the mature pieces, to be a bit of a snore.
NTT: That is a really difficult one, as I thought that my strategy should be to just put some turn-of-the-century US Americans in my basket that could conceivably have written like that, and then realized that's really hard to think of. In fact, I can basically only think of Edward MacDowell, and though I don't think these are particularly close, I'll also put in Charles Griffes (did he even write orchestral music?) and Samuel Barber (there's no way).
NTT: I’m leaning mid-twentieth-century. My first thought was Barber, but because it does sound somewhat filmic, part of me thinks maybe Herrmann? To have a trio in my basket, I’ll toss Piston in as well.

NTT: Maybe it's John Williams?
