	Change ringing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Change ringing (originally called tintinnalogia) is the art of ringing a set of tuned bells in a series of mathematical patterns called "changes", without attempting to ring a conventional tune.
		Change ringing can also be carried out on handbells (small bells, generally weighing only a few hundred grams), with each ringer usually handling two or more bells.
		Moreover, the entire book is infused with an air of change ringing to the extent that her chapter titles all employ campanalogical terminology; and indeed, one of the book's conceits is that it is a sort of multi-part peal.

	What is CHANGE RINGING
		Change ringing requires special bells, special "music", and ordinary people who enjoy climbing towers, working as a team, and performing "The Exercise." The human ingredient is critical because change ringing is very different from playing a carillon or chime.
		Ringing bells in a precise relationship to one another is the essence of change ringing.
		Change ringing is a non-competitive and non-violent team activity that is highly stimulating intellectually and mildly demanding physically, and makes a beautiful sound.

	church bells - change ringing
		The number of possible changes on any series of bells may be determined, using the mathematical formula of permutations, by multiplying the number of the bells together.
		Change ringers have developed a graphical technique called "Visual Method Diagrams", in which the paths of the treble and tenor bells are traced through the pattern with red and blue lines, respectively.
		In particular, if the person ringing the number one or treble bell (lightest and highest pitch) could attain the balance position and hold it while the number two bell is pulled down ahead of it, then bells one and two would have changed position.

	Change Ringing in Animation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Furthermore, most animators are unaware of even the existence of a weird art form called change ringing, in which free-swinging bells are rung in permutations and combinations rather than in melodies.

		There are hundreds more change ringing methods, some designed to give the maximum possible number of changes for a given number of bells (or cels).

		No, the practice of 'ringing the changes' to be discussed here is at once an application of mathematics, a sport, a peculiarly-disciplined athletic exercise, a merry noise to promote community spirit, a custom, and the basis of a kind of comradeship in pursuing a unique avocation.
		No given change may be repeated, except that the first change is also the last--'rounds' being the name for the normal obvious order, such as 1 2 3 4 5.
		Since there are as many men ringing as there are bells, the memorizing of the sequence of the changes is far more difficult than it would be for a single performer to memorize a series of changes and to play them through on a piano or xylophone or flute or trumpet.

		In change ringing, a peal of eight bells is regarded as optimum, as they can be tuned to a full octave.
		It is remarkable that two almost identical styles of change ringing have developed– aparently in complete isolation from one another– in England (see above) and in Italy, and yet are rather similar in some ways, so that a ringer trained in one system can quickly master handling a bell which is hung in the other.
