• Info: Robert Beaser is an American composer, born in Boston in 1954, who was probably best known for his adaptation of Appalachian folk songs for solo guitar. Concerning "Landscape with Bells", he writes: "...a 'portrait in miniature,' was composed in August of 1986 during an especially bucolic summer sojourn spent at 'Les Oiseaux,' a private country estate in Tarreytown (sic), New York. There amongst the well-trimmed lawns, the duck ponds and wisteria, I began to enjoy an otherworldly mix of tranquility and euphoria experienced so rarely in one's life. As a result, I began producing a series of 'Bell' pieces, etching a semblance of my natural and manicured surroundings, drawing upon the distant yet everpresent aroma of bells, both real and imagined."
