“Toccata-Rondo” (2014) was written for Latvian-Brazilian organist Kristina Rizzotto who premiered it on her summer 2014 South American recital tour. The work is a toccata in a traditional French romantic style, but with a contemporary American harmonic vocabulary. Two intervening rondo episodes alternate with the main toccata texture.
