Music from A Canterbury Tale.
ACT opens with church bells ringing and the medieval "Angelus Ad Virginem" in orchestral guise, followed by a march-like theme in the English style. That leads into a semi-chorus, the pilgrims' blessing leitmotiv, resembling Gustav Holst's "The Hymn of Jesus." The pilgrims' blessing leitmotiv recurs at key moments in the movie. The score is rich in leitmotivs, mostly invented by Allan Gray.

"Turkey in the Straw" was chosen to reflect the fun character of American Sergeant Bob Johnson after he slept in the bed of Queen Elizabeth 1st in the Hand of Glory.

"Toccata and Fugue in D minor" BWV 565 (Bach) played by Peter Gibbs at Canterbury Cathedral.
The organ music was actually played at Saint Albans Cathedral and obviously not by Dennis Price.
