Ringing the changes or whatever the term is for the horrible cacophony of tunelessness that pervades church bell ringing is disgusting and an insult to musicalness. Why can't they play tunes? It has always amazed me that church bells can be rung in such a way that there is never a tune or anything musical to come out of them. Why do we have to put up with it? Is it typical English perverseness, the tendency to resist being natural? I'm living in Oslo at the moment where some lovely polka type tunes get plonked out every hour.
