Prelude and Toccata Orchestral Winds

 Prelude and Toccata by John Kinsella was commissioned by the Irish Youth Wind Ensemble specifically for their performance in the opening concert of the WASBE 2007 Conference in Killarney, Ireland. The world premiére performance was conducted by James Cavanagh and was very well received.

"John Kinsella’s  Prelude and Toccata, composed for symphonic orchestral winds, [plus brass and percussion ed. by admin] opened up the second half of the program. The woodwinds were doubled for this performance of this brilliant work "- Jon Mitchell (originally posted 2007 July 09 as a part of Opening Ceremony and Irish Youth Wind Ensemble Concert)
