Toccata on "Lambillotte"This postlude sounds much harder than it is, and is perfect for those who are pianist turned organists as the pedal part is easy to learn. Written to be played on the Feast of Pentecost, it also works well for Confirmations and any service themed around the Holy Spirit.
This toccata draws inspiration from the many written by Johann Pachelbel. The A section dances around the melody of the hymn tune "Lambillotte" commonly known as "Come, Holy Ghost." The transition to the B section incorporates the pedal point technique commonly used by Pachelbel, as well as motifs that overlap and transfer from voice to voice. The transition leads to a lighter section in the dominant minor, after which the main theme is restated in bold chords, followed by a flashy ending. |
