Part of 'Discovering Music' on Radio 3 earlier today may be of interest to some: description of a piece of electronic music by composer Jonathan Harvey based on analysis (partials etc) of the sound of a bell. You can get to a note on the programme (copied below, tho' I'm not sure that the pictures will get through whatever filter is on this list) and to the relevant 'Listen Again' facility via http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/discoveringmusic/pip/dxbnb/?focuswin.

Mortuos Plango Vivos Voco
Winchester Cathedral
The Latin Text is inscribed on the tenor bell in the Bell Chamber at Winchester Cathedral:
Horas Avolantes Numero, Mortuos Plango: Vivos ad Preces Voco
I count the fleeting hours, I lament the dead: the living I call to prayer
The Tenor Bell
Horas Avolantes Numero
Mortuos Plango
Vivos ad Preces Voco
