Bells for Stowkowski is a musical tribute to one of the most influential and controversial conductors of the 20th century, Leopold Stokowski. Daugherty imagines Stokowski in Philadelphia visiting the Liberty Bell at sunrise, and listening to all the bells of the city resonate. With multiple musical canons, polyrhythms and counterpoints to achieve a complex timbral layering of sound, Bells for Stokowski is one of Daugherty's most performed works for band.
