| | The History of Rock Music. David Bedford: biography, discography, reviews, links |
 | | David Bedford (1937) is a British composer who has pursued two parallel careers, one as an avantgarde composer in the vein of John Cage and one as a popular composer of epic-length melodic fantasies in the vein of Mike Oldfield. |
 | | Bedford's eccentric taste and sense of humour was evident in An Exciting New Game For Children Of All Ages, whose development depends on dice, and in With 100 Kazoos, a piece for audience playing a hundred toy kazoos. |
 | | Tornando all'avanguardia, Bedford scrisse una trilogia di opere per bambini, Fridiof's Saga (1980), basata su leggende scandinave; Ocean Star a Dreaming Song (1981); Of Stars Dreams and Cymbals (1982); l'opera Rigel 9 (Charisma, 1985); An Island in the Moon (1986). |
