Home of Organist, Improviser, and Composer Benjamin Cornelius-Bates
Even though this is a week old, I wanted to share as I was very happy how it turned out. This improvisation was based on the homily given at the 10 AM Mass for the Feast of the Transfiguration. Being that this improv happened on a Monday, the postlude is rather reserved. There’s usually quite a line for confessions at this time. The reading for the day can be found here:

And here is the improvisation:
This past weekend I just happened to improvise at the Offertory for both Masses (Saturday and Sunday). That usually doesn’t happen on Sunday for the choir would be singing the proper. But it’s summer and they’re taking a break, or I’m taking a break, or something like that. So here are two improvisations, back to back in one video. I think it’s interesting to watch them back to back seeing how the same theme is treated differently.
