background-foreground

.
The only two places where I can think of where pipe organ is a 'perfect fit' or imperative presence are in church and at a baseball game.

There are probably a bunch of others as well, but those two stood out in my mind.

I wonder if there are other settings in which musical instruments are thought of as part of the background or if there are musical instruments for which particular settings come forcefully to mind.

Just noodling.
