Program NotesWater Music (2000) for organ was commissioned by a consortium consisting of the Broeker Fund for New Music, the Council for the Support of New Church Music, Raynard Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Burch. The goal behind the commission was to create a large organ work which could be used both as a recital piece and as service music (either in its entirety or with individual movements used as service voluntaries.)

The seven movements of the work are tied together by their unifying subject material. Each movement is preface by a quote from the Bible dealing with the subject of water. Musically, the seven movements of the work are unified by the consistent presence of the interval of a perfect fifth. This pervades the harmonic relationships throughout all seven movements.
