Ken Moore offers the definitive Westminster Chimes sequence as recorded from the actual chimes. Reject all imitations!
Patsy Moore. _____________________________________________________________________ Correct sequence (as broadcast by BBC Radio 4 from time to time, but mostly only the last, to indicate salient hours GMT) is as follows (not sure if this is the correct key): Quarter EDCG Half CEDG CDEC Three quarter ECDG GDEC EDCG Hour CEDG CDEC ECDG GDEC The hour chime is followed by the strike (Big Ben). Musicians can remember this in groups: three imperfect cadences (I1, I2, I3), which are in order of increasing jaggedness (number of reversals), and two perfect cadences (P1, P2), which are in order of increasing range. Each quarter begins with an imperfect cadence, imperfect and perfect alternate within each quarter, and the whole sequence is used twice per hour. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Patsy Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (formerly [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Conductor, arranger, etc. etc. Newbury College Late Starters' Orchestra Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk N.B. our system rejects emails of more than 300k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
