Oh, The Blessed Lord (Toccata)
~ Work
Annotation
Toccata was first conceived as a brass sextet in the 1940's and later adapted for full band. It is full of wit and humour of Rossini, and is really a showcase for brass - the absence of percussion being an express intention f the composer. The work is based on the Salvationist hymn Oh the Blessed Lord which is in turn adapted from J. Bland's Oh dem Golden Slipper.
