[r-t] New 41 minor compositions

[Philip Earis]

John Warboys has put several new compositions of the 41 surprise minor on his website (http://website.lineone.net/~jswcomps/), including this rather fabulous new bobs-only composition that has a change overwork every lead.



The overwork-changing concept featured in Richard Pearce's 21-spliced composition that I mentioned in the "Compositions of the Decade" article" (http://www.changeringing.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Compositions_of_the_Decade_3_-_Minor), but John's new opus takes this to another level. Great work.



A different avenue in which spliced minor ringing could resemble multi-spliced compositions on higher numbers would be through the use of a perfect 5-part block.  This would of course give atw compositions (I'm not fussed about needing a plain lead of each method).



Richard Smith has a webpage with some examples of 5-part extents (http://ex-parrot.com/~richard/minor/5part/). Have people done much investigating into 5-part Multi-Extent Blocks though?  My curiosity is aroused following a recent discussion with Ander Holroyd about the desirability of 5-part structures for minor, and I'd be interested to find out more.
