Toccata Nuptiale

There being no just cause or impediment to the contrary, Christopher Maxim makes a daring liaison between the music-hall ballad 'Daisy, Daisy' (on pedals) and the grand organ style of Vierne (on manuals) in his Toccata Nuptiale, written for the wedding of a friend whose passions include cycling. The result, which moves along way from the organ loft of Notre Dame, is a splendid addition to the repertoire of wedding music and of light-hearted concert works - and is much simpler to play than 'real' Vierne toccata!
