All in all a great experiance watching and listening to your vid!

ketèlbey was inspired and moved,one silent evening when he was somewhere in GOZO,MALTA and all of a sudden he heard the bells of Ta Pinu church ring.He was so moved that he composed here,where he was stationed as a musician.A tribute to Gozitan bells.The original manuscript of Bells Across the Meadows,as written down by Ketèlbey himself of course,is still kept in the musical archives at the Aurora Opera House Gozo.For more details you can click the website leone.org.mt/pages/teatru.asp

[mrrtsno]

is the bells part of the composition? is bell tune at start, were the chime for clocks giving time on the hour, came from?? very similar

[malpen04]

@mrrtsno I can't remember if I added the chimes at the beginning or if they are part of the song but I think it's part of the song.

[fuzzyleader]

@malpen04 yes I confirm, it is part of the song. I played this on Tubular Bells a couple of times with local Band Clubs (Malta). What a nice piece of music!!

[malpen04]

@fuzzyleader Thanks for clarifying this fuzzyleader.

[steinwaygrande1]

I havent heard this in years. I loved this from the moment I first heard this, yet my later mother hated it - must have bought back memories of her Mother having been born and raised In Malta and having a scottish Father

[malpen04]

@steinwaygrande1 Music can bring fond memories and sad ones and I don't blame anyone if they don't like a specific piece of music. Thanks for your comment.
