Toccata Nuptiale
(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 and premièred by the composer in the United Reform Church in Heswall, Wirral. Since then it has been performed around the world and has been recorded commercially four times. It is regularly performed by Michael Stairs on the organ of the Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia, USA and by Dr John Kitchen on the organ of the Usher Hall. Toccata Nuptiale is on the diploma syllabus of the London College of Music (see p. 4). Michael Stairs's recording was featured in the programme Pipe Dreams on American Radio in August 2017.
