Tijdens zijn loopbaan als concertorganist speelde Rob Goorhuis talloze malen de Sonata da Chiesa van Hendrik Andriessen een werk dat typisch is voor de stijl en het coloriet van deze Nederlandse organist-componist. De betekenis van Andriessen voor de Nederlandse kerkmuziek is zeer groot geweest. Vele koor- en orgelwerken ontstonden in de bloeitijd van het rijke Roomse leven. Als eerbetoon aan deze kunstenaar die destijds als organist van de kathedraal van Utrecht talrijke luisteraars trok met zijn kleurrijke en vernieuwende orgelbespelingen schreef Rob Goorhuis een fantasie over het thema van diens Sonata da Chiesa. Deze Sonata bestond uit een reeksvariaties op een zelf ontworpen thema. De sfeer van het werk reikt van zeer intiem tot uiterst uitbundig. Deze uitersten heeft Rob Goorhuis in zíjn interpretatie en verwerking van het thematisch materiaal eveneens opgezocht. De vroomheid en luister van het orgel werden echter vervangen door de passie en de virtuositeit van een modern blaasorkest. De band met het originele werk van Andriessen wordt onderstreept door een aantal soms licht verborgen citaten van bijzondere muzikale wendingen. De handtekening van de oude meester blijft zo herkenbaar. Op deze manier toont Rob Goorhuis zijn bewondering voor diens componeertalent. Het werk werd geschreven in opdracht van fanfare Kunst en Vriendschap Partij-Wittem onder leiding van Paul Oligschläger ter gelegenheid van de deelname aan het Wereld Muziek Concours Kerkrade in 2009.
