The title Stoccato is a combination of staccato and toccata, both of which describe the piece with its quick motion (toccata) and use of mallets (staccato.) Commissioned in honor of the musical ministry of Alice Ralston at Fist United Methodist Church of Midland, the musical theme is base on a musical representation of the letters A-L-I-C-E-R-A-L-S-T-O-N. The opening three statements of her name provide moments of reflections and remembrance, to be savored as the memories of Alice's work are treasured by all. The remainder of the piece is pure celebration, to be rung joyously.
