Change Ringing door Society of Cambridge Youth
Opname: 5 september 2015 TivoliVrendenburg in Utrecht i.h.k.v. festival Oude Muziek Utrecht.
In Engeland is de ophanging van de kerkklokken anders. Klokken draaien om as tijdens het luiden. Bovenin kunnen ze stil hangen, waardoor je heel precies kunt timen.
In dit filmpje word op handklokken gespeeld i.p.v. kerkklokken. Iedere spelen heeft 2 klokken. Vaak wordt er uit een boekje gespeeld en kan het wel uren duren. Hier spelen ze uit hun hoofd.

Change ringing is the art of ringing a set of tuned bells in a series of mathematical patterns called "changes".
Change ringing can be found all over the world, performed in a variety of media; but it remains most popular in English churches, where it was developed in the 17th century. A church's bell tower typically contains a set of few large church bells rigged to swing freely and known as a ring of bells.
The considerable inertias involved mean that each bell usually requires its own ringer. Thus, contrasted with a carillon, in which a large number of bells are struck by hammers, all tied into a central framework so that one carillonneur can control them all, a set of such bells is comparatively unwieldy-hence, the emergence of permutations rather than melody as an organizing principle.
