<BR>> We are quite familiar with the Veronese system of Italian bellringing
<BR>> but have you explored the Bolognese system? The above link is a good
<BR>> starting point - especially the links to examples.<BR>> There are a
few issues to consider: This is full circle ringing with no <BR>> great
attempt at counterbalancing the bells - it is not by rope and <BR>> wheel but
it is an evolutionary step forward from East Bergholt. The <BR>> "music"
explores the idea of using all changes on a given number of <BR>> bells and
uses the idea of a cover. The four bell notes in the first <BR>> two YouTube
examples indicate that the Cambridge Quarters may owe less <BR>> to a Handel
Aria and more to Bolognese bells heard on a "grand tour". <BR>> Is there
someone with a command of Italian who could read through the <BR>> articles
and tell us all about it? It appears to be a very close <BR>> relation to
English Change Ringing.<BR><BR>That is fabulous - when are we
going?<BR><BR>Clarrie<BR></P></DIV><!-- end group email --></BODY></HTML>
