Written between June 1986 and Feb.1990 and performed on May 24, 1992. Introduced by Rev. Nathaniel Lauriat, former minister, and guest speaker at the First Unitarian Church of San Jose during its centennial. It sounds pretty good despite the primitive recording. It was played on a 1930 Moller organ destroyed by fire in 1995. The video contains pictures of the church, some Moller and other organs, and people and scenes that reflect the mood of the music. The first and last pictures are of me, from the era the piece was composed. The T-shirt in the first picture, which I sometimes wore at the time, said "I am abandoning my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy." I think I found one.
The score is now available free to organists on request, especially if you send me a review. See my web site:

Thanks for listening and keep the spirit alive.
