In view, however, of the greater difficulty experienced by the begin net· in ringing on a larger numbet· of bells, it is desirable for him to pay increasing attention to the coursing order as well as to the sequence of the dodges . .-\s in the ringing of Major methods, it is usual to keep the tenors in their plain course coursing order, so in ringing Grandsire Caters it is customary to fix the position of the heavier bells and to keep them coursing each other. The three ways in which this is usually done are:- (a) l'lain Cour8c I'IJ8ilion.-The three larget· bells course each other in the order 8, !), 7, and stt'ike in the order 7, 8, 9, at the course end. (b) TiliwH l'o.~ition.-'l'ho throe larger bells course each other in the order 7, H, 0, and strike in the order D, 7, 8, at the course end. 'rhis is undoubtedly the most popular· position among Grandsire Cater l'ingers. (c) flandstrnkc Home I'nsition.-'l'he three larger bells course each other in the order 7, 9, H, and strike in the order 8, 7, 9, at the course end.

The four Sixes nearest to the course end of Htedman Caters have a greater musical value than anything_in Grandsi.re, and the same may he said of some leads of Treble Bob Royal. 8uperlativc Smprise and other Major· methods can at times give a variety of music and t·hyt.hm which delight the ears of those who know how to listen for them, and there are few methods which will not at times afford charm when they are rung as they should be. But among them all there is hardly one which is so consist.ent.ly pleasing as Grandsire Caters. '.fhe fact that it consists lat·gcly of plain hunting, with comparatively few changes of cotu·sing order, gives a unity to the :inusic which might have been monotony were it not that the varying positions in comsing order of the Treble and Bells-in-the-Hunt afford sufficient relief.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

The development of change ringing in the early 17th century was mainly due to the invention of the full-circle wheel on which the bells were mounted. By pulling a rope, a bell would make a rotation of almost 360 degrees with a period of approximately two seconds. The time between two strikes of the same bell could be controlled rather accurately, which made it possible to ring a certain number of bells all after each other and keep repeating this in the same order.

  • When Were Church Bells First Used? What Is English Change Ringing
    Guildford Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers When were Church Bells first used? How long do bells last? Saxon churches often had round stone towers like St Peter’s, Yaxham. Four of the bells in this tower are 400 years old Where are bells made? Croyland Abbey, in Lincolnshire, had the first known ring of bells tuned to a musical scale over 1,000 years ago! Johanna Sturdy cast this bell in London in 1460. She is 555 years old. She is one of the bells at Stoke D’Abernon and is rung every Sunday. Bell restoration These French Bell-founders are ‘fettling’ one of the new bells recently installed at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. What is English Change Ringing? The simplest sort of ringing is ‘Rounds’, where Much more interesting music is created by con- bells are rung continuously down the musical stantly changing the order of the bells.

I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy.

Much thanks to Dr. Pam Cutter. I could not have completed the work I have done without her help. Thank you to the entire computer science department, for being such a welcoming environment to learn in. iv Abstract Handbells are a tradition on Kalamazoo Campus that is struggling to maintain enough members. A portion of the cause of this problem is the difficulty in learning handbells when there are not enough experienced ringers available to teach it. In order to minimize any possible lack of teachers, this Senior Individualized Project attempts to write software in java that allows a single ringer to learn handbells with only a computer.
