Rod Argent on the organ. I’m pretty sure the first part is on a real tracker (church) organ.

This is John Tout of Renaissance. This one has piano and harpsichord, and features Jon Camp's "bass as lead guitar" sound too. The same album has "At the Harbour," which has a prolonged piano intro that consists entirely of a Debussy piece, played very well.

the orchestral part in the middle is one of my favorite Renaissance instrumental pieces.

[BrianUC]

Another great one from Nicky Hopkins.

 

[BrianUC]

Perhaps Rick Wakeman's finest work. After the distinctive church organ segments there's an energetic keyboard solo that always gets me revved up.
