Improvisation: Liturgical

I cut loose a little today.  There is sometimes (or self imposed, as is my case) difference between concert improvisations and liturgical improvisations.  Generally speaking, I reserve more traditional forms and styles for the liturgy, but today I went for a slightly freeform postlude based on the chant Lauda Zion.  It was the last Sunday the choir sang and I figured it was time for a bang.  A small bang at least.

I can certainly go more tonally crazy than this, but this is a liturgical improv on Pittsburgh’s South Side.  One doesn’t need to go full France-1960 and I’ll leave it at that.  There’s a bit of noise in the background, but hey, it is a postlude.  Enjoy!
