Frank Erickson's "Toccata for Band" has been extremely popular among high school and college bands ever since it was first published. Essentially two ideas are expressed in the Allegro non troppo and Andante con moto sections. The first, featuring the trumpets and clarinets, is quick and rhythmic; the second, featuring a horn solo, is slow and lyrical.
