Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major - (2010) ![](images/01_Little_Green_Dot.gif)
for organ
The root of this concert work for organ is the half-step, B to C, within C major. The toccata offers several displays of solo pedal work marked a piacere, between sections of the movement itself. A quasi-rondo form, the thematic material of the manuals in the parallel movement of simple major triads, F to G to C and then to G again, underpinned by a moving pedal line.

The adagio opens with the B-C head motive as well, in a quiet relief from the bombast of the toccata.

The fioratura of the pedal breaks the mood of the adagio before stating the fugue subject at measure 271, again with the B-C half step. The fugue moves into the dominant (as at measure 284), subdominant and dominant minor regions before a final coda restating the head motive in its proper tonic major.
