Organ Voluntary by John Stanley, Opus 5, No 1 - Page 1

Somehow the term "Organ Voluntary" doesn't at all seem to conjure up the feeling of this piece. It's more in the nature of a sonata, and it sounds quite natural on the flute (well, except perhaps for the short, slow first movement, which could either be omitted or embellished...) Done in Cubase. Stick with it, by the way, even if you find the first couple of pages a bit boring - most of the interest is in the last movement. Oh - I left one low C in there somewhere... it comes after a higher C which, obviously, you can just sustain on a flute without a C foot.
