Toccata Marziale is a masterpiece of both counterpoint and instrumental color, and a truly unique and important work in the wind band repertoire. Written in 1924 for the Commemoration of the British Empire Exhibition, it was only Vaughan Williams’s second work for wind band, after the English Folk Song Suite of 1923. Toccata Marziale shares the key of B-flat and the melodic germ (sol-do-re-do) with Vaughan Williams’s much later Flourish for Wind Band (1939), so the two make a great prelude and fugue sort of pair.
