Improvisation #1

I have recently been listening to the improvisations of modern French organists such as Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin, Philippe Brandeis, Vincent Dubois, and others. I always find their use of modes, dissonance, complex registrations, and the fluttering of chords underneath the melody line to be intriguing and incredibly musical, and so this is my first published attempt at trying something in the same style.

I know that the main motif I'm improvising over is from another piece of organ music, but I can't remember which. If you recognize it, please let me know below.

Recorded on 12 November 2021 at Sacred Heart Church in Norfolk, VA.
