Composed by Robert Beaser
Song of the Bells is in the shape of an asymmetrical arch,
beginning in a haze of disorganized percussion sounds, slowly gathering
speed, and eventually reaching a peak of motoric energy and brilliance
(the tempo marking in the score is Avanti!), then quickly dying away to a
nearly inaudible tintinnabulation. Besides the literal bell sounds
emanating from the percussion section (which includes glockenspiel,
vibraphone, xylophone, crotales, chimes, marimba, Mexican bean, and
assorted drums, cymbals, and gongs), allusions to bells in the opening
bars include horn phrases that recall the Westminster chimes("Big Ben")
and regular harp strokes, like a chiming clock. Soon after its dramatic
entrance, the solo flute plays a languido melody, which the first
violins then take up, accompanied by improvised chirping and twittering
from the soloist. After a return of the chime theme in ghostly string
harmonics, dance rhythms begin to drive the music to its climax, first
in gay triplet eighth notes, then in blindingly fastsixteenths. When the
peak is reached, the horns sing out the Westminster chime theme above
the swirl of activity; violins and the soloist then take it up as well,
but tenderly, as the music fades to a tinkling in the distance...
