Contemporary-style improvisations
Organ improvisation I - in mid-20th century style. This improvisation follows a succession of rhythmic motifs, developing these freely through constantly evolving registration (colour) changes. Textures are layered, contrasting busy semiquavers with still, chordal and melodic lines.
Organ improvisation II - in free style. Again, this improvisation is rhythmically driven, but this time more symphonic in character.
