Toccata Nuptiale	Instrumental/solo	Organ	1993	This popular work combines the style of a French toccata (particularly the language of Vierne) with the old music-hall ballad Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer, Do. It was written for the wedding of a friend who was a cycling enthusiast. Since its publication by Stainer & Bell in 2003, Toccata Nuptiale has been regularly performed in concerts and at weddings across the land. It is even sometimes heard as a voluntary after Sunday services. Toccata Nuptiale has been recorded by Andrew Wilson on the Regent label. Toccata Nuptiale is currently on the London College of Music's diploma syllabus . What the critics said about Toccata Nuptiale: “Audiences, congregations even, will love it – and you, and the organ, and the composer. Every [organist] of the requisite standard should order a copy without hesitation.” Graham Matthews Organists’ Review “This splendid piece has been out for some while, but if you have not seen it, or, better, bought it, remedy the situation without delay: it is a guaranteed noise-stopper, tremendous fun to perform and to hear.” Trevor Webb Church Music Quarterly “This delightful piece… [is suitable for] joyful liturgical occasions [and] it would make a good light-hearted recital piece.” CN The Organ Level of challenge: Moderately difficult
