Listening to the Church Bells at Noon

[channing28270]

What is the name of this Church?

[Xerox6085I]

From the sound I can tell this is a Maas-Rowe Digital Chronobell playing the Angelus strike.

Is this Our Lady Star of the Sea in Atlantic City, NJ?

Yuck---fake bells.

[captaincook71]

this time of bells is calling "the angelus":

you heard the 3x3 bell's sound, and you say a part of the angelus prayer all the 3 dongs (in fact, the prayer is in 4 parts) and you finish when it ring a lot.

I wrote it because you said : "The "pm" chime is something that I have never heard before." =D

[moparmonster1965]

The 'grandfather clock' chime is the Westminster chime, and if this is the Angelus, we know it's an RCC.

I can't hear shit for the first 2 minutes. Make it 1 minute,asshole.

[channing28270]

I suspect this is a Maas-Rowe Carillon also

[MEKLAFIR]

im a muslim and i love the angelus, because Mother mary never failed to do what they lod asked her to do.

[gadgethead16]

the bells at a church have the same pm chime but they get deeper

[sadgiv45]

I have rung the Angelus before and its 3 x 3 then 9 so that was not really the Angelus that was rung but something in place of it.

[sander1998]

nice vid. they dont have real bells, so i hope they do have a real God.

[tomasz1641]

As others have mentioned, this is the Angelus, a Catholic call to prayer.

I suspect this is a Maas-Rowe electronic carillon. There is one at a church where I was once the music director and the sound is virtually identical.

AS a former ringer of the Angelus - the 3x3 set and a set of 9, the 3x3 is spaced with the words "Ave Maria" and "Pater" - there should be 18 chimes in total, with the set of 9 chimes rung one after the other. Funeral Knells are 1 chime every 30 -45 seconds. It depends on the place- each church has their own preferred spacing of tolls.

[Gspijkenisse]

No, the bells chimed 3x3 bells: 9 in total. However with 2 different bells.

The 18 gongs are supposed to be a bell ringing one full minute?

It's very odd and weird hearing the Angelus with fake-bells. It doesn't summon me to pray the hail-mary at all.

It sounds fake and due the cars driving by, I wonder if there are people who spontanious fall on their knees with these weird bells in this parish...

The 3x3 are supposed to be striked on one bell!

was Test in there ringin em

[Victorpodsnezhnik]

nice chime!

[cng07]

The bells you hear are called the Angelus bells, its a prayer in most catholic churches.

[Audinos]

It is a tradition carried over from medieval monasteries. At 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM, the bell rings three sets of three strikes, followed by either a peal or several more strikes, as a reminder for the people to pray the Angelus prayer. This prayer reminds Christians to say "yes" as Mary did to whatever the Lord asks us to do. During the Easter season, many churches switch over to the constant-pealing Regina Coeli bell, since that prayer replaces the Angelus between Easter and Pentecost.

Thanks! :)

That sounded like ting tang quarters to me.

The other grandfather clock chime you are referring to is a chime famous from England called The westminster chimes.
