Improvisation: Liturgical

The Monastery that I play for is often more busy on Mondays than on the weekends due to the Novena prayer and confessions held after the Mass.  In fact, we have more people pass through the church on Mondays than on the weekends.  Something I have done there is use communion and offertory for improvisations at the organ, which most have become accustomed to and I think may even like.  I make mention of this because it is at communion where I am able to make the best recordings.  Which is to say, I have yet another communion improvisation to share, coming from one of these Monday masses.  I used the chant proper from Sunday, with the great text, behold a virgin shall conceive.  Have a great Christmas!
