Handel called Britain “the ringing isle” because when he went to live there, he heard bells ringing everywhere: great bells in church towers, and handbells in some of the first private houses he visited. The sound of people “ringing the changes” is a peculiarly British sound of celebration, and it seemed a good starting point for a piece celebrating British musical life. Dove has incorporated from traditional change-ringing patterns, from Grandsire Doubles, Oxford Treble Bob Minor and a bit of Plain Bob Major. (6:00).
