Announcing music of Amy Beach
 -
Born in 1867, Amy Beach was a pioneering woman pianist and composer.JB Linear Music is pleased to publish new arrangements of music from the series of piano pieces called "From Grandmother's Garden" Op. 97, written in 1922. Although one might imagine this to be rather sentimental music, Amy Beach used advanced techniques of harmony and style. There are five movements, each describing or alluding to a plant one would find in a Victorian garden.  Click on the links below to see and hear samples
