[r-t] Compositions of the Decade: Part 6 - Caters

[Philip Earis]

Ander on Erin Caters:
"I think you've got yer wires crossed here Philip.  The 5076 was the 
original, and is probably noteworthy only for its historical interest 
(well, I suppose it has a simpler calling, too).  The 5022 has superior 
music.  At least I think it has, although I've never actually got to ring 
the thing!"

Thanks for the correction Ander.  I've rung the original once and the modified version at least a couple of times.  I actually remember the original with more fondness - there's a lot to be said for simple calling structures.  I should revisit it, anyway.

MBD's point about Grandsire Caters - this is certainly fair, and I've updated the wiki page accordingly.

It has also been pointed out that there were also compositions involving similar cyclic transitions shortly before Mark Eccleston's Stedman Caters that I included. One such example would be 5050 Stedman Caters composed by Richard Grimmett, rung at St Paul's, Birmingham on 26/2/2007 - http://www.campanophile.co.uk/view.aspx?47667 - which I'm happy to reproduce below.

[I wasn't trying to say Mark was the very first person to include such transitions in Stedman - indeed, I think Don Morrison has some Stedman cinques compositions involving similar concepts dating from at least 2002...]
