Bell ringing is part of the aural landscape of this country, it's a beautiful thing to hear because it grounds those who do it and listen to it in the locality (the bells are markers of a particular place, in a particular village church) while at the same time raising the listeners mind and hearts beyond the particular time and place they stand in (the bells are calls to prayer).

Rooted in place and yet transcendent. I wish that all music could reach that goal.
