“Woodwind and percussion players usually are unfamiliar with the antiphonal brass choir tradition. I made this modern, more easily readable version of Bonelli's classic 1600 Toccata for flexible wind ensemble with optional percussion, so that as few as 8 players up to full symphonic band could play in this style. I've used it as a dramatic concert opener, with the second, smaller group positioned behind the audience.†~ Shelley Hanson Recorded by the Eden Prairie (MN) High School Wind Ensemble - Dr. Elizabeth Jackson, conductor.

Written in a sophisticated and dynamic style, this work from James Curnow is more impressive sounding than the easy grade level would indicate. Opening with a rhythmic and intense tocatta, this theme is contrasted with a sustained and lyric chorale section. Both themes are combined at the end for a powerful and rewarding finish.

Claudio Monteverdi composed this toccata as an instrumental introduction for the opera L’Orfeo (1607). According to the composer, this introduction should be played three times before the rising of the curtain. This is actually the first overture in the history of opera.)The story of Orfeo, who enchanted nature with his music, is tragic, as he loses his beloved Eurydice and decides to retrieve her from the underworld. On their return journey, one glance back at her is fatal: he loses her for the second time.)This arrangement for wind band is very suitable as a concert opener. The toccata is played three times just like the original. The first time it is played by a quintetconsisting of two trumpets and three trombones.)Various ways of performing this toccata are possible. The tension builds up more intensely if the quintet starts off stage. Eventually, these five players join the band, after which the tutti version follows two times. You can also have the brass play from the gallery during the second or third time for a double choir effect. Claudio Monteverdi componeerde deze toccata als instrumentale inleiding tot de opera L’Orfeo (1607). Dit arrangement voor harmonieorkest is dan ook heel geschikt als openingswerk. De toccata wordt drie keer gespeeld, de eerste keer door een kwintet van twee trompetten en drie trombones. De opbouw van de spanning is intenser als het kwintet in de coulissen of achter het podium begint. Vervolgens voegen deze vijf muzikanten zich bij de rest van het orkest, waarna de tutti-versie nog twee keer klinkt.Claudio Monteverdi schrieb diese Toccata als instrumentales Vorspiel zur Oper l'Orfeo. Sie sollte drei Mal vor der Hebung des Vorhangs gespielt werden. Damit hatte er tatsächlich die erste Ouvertüre der Operngeschichte geschaffen! Wie im Original, wird auch in dieser Bearbeitung die Toccata drei Mal gespielt: zunächst von einem Trompeten- und Posaunenquintett, dann zwei Mal vom gesamten Blasorchester. Ein ideales Eröffnungswerk!Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) a composé cette toccata instrumentale pour l’ouverture de son opéra tragique L’Orfeo (1607). Selon le souhait du compositeur, cette pièce d’introduction doit être jouée trois fois rideau baissé. Ce faisant, Monteverdi a composé la première ouverture dans l’histoire de l’opéra. Cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est idéal pour débuter un concert. Fidèle la version originale, la Toccata est interprétée trois fois dont la première par un quintette composé de trois trombones et de deux trompettes.Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) compose questa Toccata strumentale per l’ouverture dell’opera tragica L’Orfeo (1607). Il compositore desiderava che questo brano di apertura fosse eseguito tre volte a sipario chiuso. Così facendo, compose la prima ouverture nella storia dell’opera. Questo arrangiamento per banda è ideale per iniziare un concerto. Fedele alla versione originale, la Toccata è interpretata tre volte, di cui la prima dal quintetto composto da tre tromboni e due trombe.

Zu Frescobaldis Leben und Werk wurden neben allgemeinen und grundsatzlichen Beitragen verschiedene Gattungen seiner Musik erforscht, u.a. die Sammlung seiner Fantasien, der Instrumental-Ricercare, der Instrumental-Canzonen, der Canzoni Francese. Doch seine bedeutendste Kompositionsform, die Toccata, wurde nun allgemein charakterisiert. Mit diesem Band liegt erstmals eine umfassende stilkritische Untersuchung der Toccaten vor.

‘Toccata Festiva’ was commissioned in 1994 by the Dutch Brass Band Championships. The wind band version was made a year later by the composer himself. Historically speaking, the toccata is considered to be one of the first independent instrumental forms for keyboard instruments. Originally the toccata was typically more or less improvised, later this musical form was given a more regulated structure. Both elements are used in the ‘Toccata Festiva’: on the one hand the different themes are developed freely, on the other, the piece has an orderly structure. It is in a three part form (quick-slow-quick) and includes both strong rhythmical figures and broad melodic lines. Partof the composition is written in a more or less archaic tone idiom, referring to the period from which the toccata form originates (16th century).
