I'm looking for two or three organ pieces that sound demonstrably Arabic or Indian. They don't have to be by composers from that area: I'm thinking for example of something like Glazunov's string quartet Orientale (www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUgVvs9P7_M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUgVvs9P7_M)). Even piano pieces might be OK, if they're playable on an organ. Any suggestions? I've not managed to find much on the web.
Ben,
How about the Deux Dance a Agni Yavishta by Alain?

I suppose Albert Ketelby's 'In a Persian Marketplace' is not quite what you're looking for? It's fun to play, though....
Thanks, Robin & David -- both interesting suggestions, which I will certainly try out. They also prompted me to recall Sabre Dance (which I've done before), Scheherazade (which I've seen as a piano duet), and helped me find a Persian Suite composed just a few months ago: http://www.bardon-music.com/music.php?id=BE00645 (http://www.bardon-music.com/music.php?id=BE00645). Another friend suggested listening to various Middle Eastern national anthems, but all those I've listened to so far sound quite dull and not very 'Eastern' at all.
