[r-t] What does Mr Grimmett think makes a musical composition?

Yes, last peal in 2003 now I look. I agree with you really - it is plain
hunt - but to me plain hunt is the best tune of all.

Predictability is good for composing, too; in unpredictable methods it's
hard to get good compositions. Compositions for predictable methods that
produce lots of music in unpredictable ways are the best, I reckon.

Yes, because Bristol is Double. Presumably you'd refuse to ring hl calls in,
say, Jennie's Endeavour?
