Challenging yet accessible, this absorbing work by the composer of Gavorkna Fanfare applies classic contrapuntal and 20th century compositional techniques to a main chorale melody, a Toccata theme, and a recurring chordal motif binding the Tocatta.
Chorale and Toccata, writes the composer, "was commissioned by the Ohio Private College Instrumental Conductors Association (OPClCA) for their 1992 Honor Band. The request was to write a challenging, yet accessible work, suited for small colleges or advanced high school bands. With this challenge, I called upon my days of study with Robert Washburn, using many of the classic 20th century compositional techniques that he taught me. Therefore, the work is written in a traditional style with a main chorale melody, a toccata theme, and a recurring chordal motif which binds the toccata. During the toccata, the main theme is used in inversion and appears in a double canon with its inversion. The chorale then returns toward the end of the toccata to complete the work with a cyclic idea."
