- "Sacred site was commissioned by the Opera House Trust with the assistance of the Music Board of the Australia Council to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Opera House. The work was written for the organist, David Kinsela and his anniversary recital of contemporary compositions given in the Concert Hall on the Ron Sharp grand organ on 19th September 1983. The composition itself is intended as a celebration of the genius of S.O.H. architect, Joern Utzon, and the designer and builder of the S.O.H. grand organ, Ron Sharp. The title, 'Sacred site' alludes to the three 'spiritualities' of Bennelong Point, 1) before 1770, 2) in the days of Sydney trams when B. Pt. was a tram depot, 3), after 1973 when the Sydney Opera House became the soul of the city if not the nation!".
