Two Organ Voluntaries were written begin and end Even You Song, an Even Song structured work inspired by the moon (read more here). Where does your faith lie? and Taking Your Leave are inspired the mysteries of space and space travel itself, but can be performed separately as organ pieces in their own right with no programmatic association!

Reviews
"Where does your faith lie? immediately sets a brooding atmosphere of questioning and mystery."
"The opening organ voluntary, Where Does Your Faith Lie? started from a rumbling low bass in the organ, and rose atmospherically yet thoughtfully... the dramatic and vivid concluding voluntary Taking Your Leave."
