Boundless Light, Concerto for Organ and Orchestra

I'm finishing up my latest piece called "Boundless Light", a concerto for organ and orchestra. It is in one movement lasting 21 minutes. I'm still working on the mockup but this is an excerpt from it.

Sounds awesomely powerful.

I love when the organ asserts itself.

Although, this sounds like it would be a difficult piece to record, as it gets so loud in places I feel like it would distort.

Much thanks! I'm sure it would be difficult to record but no worse than the Saint Saens Organ Symphony or a Shostakovich symphony.

It can get loud and quite manic at the end. It was originally intended as an organ etude but I added accompaniment to it and expanded it into the present concerto, manic parts and all!

This is so epic sounding! The organ truly is the master, but the interplay between it and the orchestra is lovely. It is loud, but justly so. I especially loved how rich the organ's cadenzas were, but without it sounding messy (I find that can happen as one piles notes upon notes), but you have such a wonderful balance. This is the kind of piece I'd love to see (not just hear) live, as I imagine the concert ending like the below gif:

Thanks so much! Loved the Simpsons reference but I also would have accepted this:
