A lively toccata - untypical of the composer, I think; I don't think it's been on here before. Not a perfect performance, I’m afraid. Stanley Vann wrote it for me and I gave its first performance at a 90th birthday concert in his honour.

W. Stanley Vann (1910-2010) was an extremely distinguished British organist and composer, most remembered for his tenure as Organist and Master of the Music at Peterborough Cathedral (1953-1977). The choir was considered by many to be the finest English cathedral choir of the time.
