Toccata from Symphony No. 5 in F minor, Op. 42

Charles-Marie Widor’s Toccata from his Symphony No. 5 is one of the most celebrated works in the organ repertoire. Written in 1879 during his tenure as titular organist of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, the piece showcases the brilliance and grandeur of the French Romantic organ tradition.

The Toccata bursts forth with shimmering repeated figures in the right hand, anchored by a triumphant, ascending melody in the pedals. Its continuous drive, radiant harmonies, and jubilant character have made it a favourite recessional for weddings and festive liturgical celebrations.

Both virtuosic and exultant, Widor’s Toccata captures the full splendor of the grand French symphonic organ—an enduring testament to Widor’s mastery and the instrument’s incomparable expressive power.
