	MTO 6.4: Harrison, Tolling Time
		To be sure, they have bits of tune, and one of the five chimes that I will discuss in detail here, the Westminster Quarters, actually forms quite a pleasant and memorable collection of tones, so much so that composers have used this collection as the motivic basis of an extended composition.
		For the first two quarters, the chime seems to be unfolding a single tune in the manner of the Parsifal Chimes: A, A+B, and then possibly A+B+Y and A+B+Y+Z for the final two quarters, with Y and Z each being putative two-note motives.
		The Magdalen Chimes has a more modular character than the other two, and, while the fourth quarter is still the longest sequence, it seems less climactic than those of the other chimes.

		If it chimes all right for a short time then reverts back to where it was, you will have to remove the minute hand and move it to the proper placement to correspond to the chime.
		If the chime does not correct itself over an hour or so, but is consistently a quarter 'out' then the minute hand has been fitted in wrong place - proceed as per Harold and if necessary, move the hour hand.
		Yes, suppressing the chime did not work but then I tried moving the hour hand, which got the gong right, and after that, miraculously, the chimes seemed to correct on their own!

	The Westminster Chimes
		First used on the clock at Great St. Mary's, Cambridge, these were originally called the Cambridge Chimes and are derived from Handel's 'Messiah'.
		Now famous because of their adoption at Westminster, they are known as the Westminster Chimes.
		The bells are tuned to the key of F major with the hour bell (Big Ben) sounding note E. There are two things to notice here.

		The melodic sequence from Parsifal upon which the chime is based is found at the end of the "Good Friday" scene in the third act.
		This G is the lowest bell in the Hopeman Carillon, and it also struck the hours when the Westminster Quarters (also set in F major) chimed from that instrument.
		Many chimes lack a bell large enough to act as a suboctave tonic for hour strikes, so hour strikes often occur on whatever the largest bell is regardless of key.
