Check out Jonathan Harvey’s innovative and pioneering ‘Toccata’ for organ and tape in this video. Performed here by Rupert Gough in the Chapel of Royal Holloway College back in June 2014, the piece demonstrates Harvey’s ability to construct interesting sound-worlds, exploring contrasting timbres and wide-ranging textures.
Above all else, it showcases the mastery of the composer who joined electronic forces with acoustic instruments, leading the way in the field of electro-acoustical music.
