Prelude and Toccata is based on the traditional German folk tune O wie wohl ist mir am Abend [Oh, how lovely is the evening], which is typically sung as a round. The theme is presented in an atmosphere of tranquility and simplicity before breaking into a three-part round. In contrast, the toccata section changes to a mood of excitement and festivity, becoming more intense and complex with each succeeding phrase. Motifs from the folk tune abound as the music builds to a triumphant conclusion. Prelude and Toccata correlates with Tradition of Excellence Book 3, page 20.

About Tradition of Excellence: Excellence in Performance

Excellence in performance is a concert band repertoire series correlated with the Tradition of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method by Bruce Pearson and Ryan Nowlin. The compositions in the series correlate to a specific page in Tradition of Excellence Books 1, 2, or 3 and reinforce and expand on skills and concepts introduced in the method.

/Selections include exciting parts for every player, grade-appropriate cross-cueing, accessible ranges and rhythms, creative percussion writing, electric bass and rehearsal piano parts, and full conductor scores with rehearsal suggestions, program notes and composer biographies. In addition, the Grade 1 works provide an Advanced Snare Drum part for percussionists who have achieved a higher level of ability, playable simultaneously with the more basic Snare Drum part to facilitate differentiated learning.
