Articles that discuss Kent Treble Bob
We had a session with Jessica and Colin this afternoon. We have previously worked on some exercises leading towards Kent, especially treble bob hunting and Bastow, so today we decided to intensively practise Kent places. This is in preparation for out handbell day on Saturday, when I have scheduled both...
I've said before that one of the benefits of online ringing with the Five O'Clock Club has been picking up some new compositions, especially using non-standard calls. Today I learnt new compositions of Kent Royal and Maximus.
The original plan was to ring a quarter of Kent Maximus. We've rung...
In the campaign of trying to understand the structure of methods by thinking of them as compositions, let's move on to treble bob. Now the base method is treble bob hunting instead of plain hunting, and again we will consider variations with respect to pure treble bob hunting as if...
I have run a couple of online conducting courses recently, and it was pleasing to see that one of the students, Lindsay Powell, has just called her first handbell quarter. One of the ideas I discussed in the course was getting to know certain coursing orders that produce musical...
I have been experimenting with the idea of superimposing a diagram showing the progress of a pair of bells along their lines, on top of the animation from Handbell Stadium. Here is what I have come up with, showing the tenors for Kent Minor. There is also a commentary on...
Spliced Kent and Oxford Treble Bob has almost disappeared from the tower bell repertoire, except for Minor, but on Major and above it is still actively rung on handbells. "Treble Bob Variations" refers to a style of composition in which there is a basic course of spliced Kent and Oxford...
The Cam and Granta variations of Treble Bob consist of Kent, with leads of Kent Little Bob or Bastow Little Bob when the back bells should be in the slow. What does this mean, and why is it interesting? We will see that it provides an easier way into ringing...
This is the composition we rang for our peal of Kent Maximus last year. It's based on a suggestion by Stuart Bamforth, which we used for a quarter of spliced Kent and Kent Little Bob. The idea is to use bobs in 4th and 6th place to get the back...
We have been working on 12-bell ringing on and off for a while. Our first quarter of Maximus was back in 2010, with a particularly handbell-friendly composition splicing Kent and Kent Little Bob. In 2012 we rang a quarter of Kent on one of the Scottish Handbell Days. After that...
Last week started well on Sunday with a quarter of Primrose in the tower, and continued well on Monday with a date touch of 8-spliced. The date touch was a textbook operation: we sat down, started ringing, continued until the end, and stopped. Some of the leads of London...
