The bells are singing!

13 11 2008

What *is* that sound? Radio wasn’t on. We don’t have cable. … So up to the window, he made a mad dash. Looked around and threw up the sash.

When what to our wondering ears did resound, but the tintinnabulation of bells making the most beautiful sounds.

It turns out that St Martin’s church, the church on our corner, has a carillon bell tower containing over 40 bells that can (and are) played by a carillonneur.

Thanks to blogger Sense and the City, we now know a little more about this piece of our new neighborhood.

Looking forward to learning more. If we can record the chorus of the bells and post it, we surely will!

So you’ll be waking up to bells every Sunday? That sucks.

I don’t know about those bells! Paul & I stayed overnight and waited to hear the bells ring…nothing has happened yet…and it’s almost noon on Friday…Hmmm…

We’ll just have to keep coming back until we hear them!!!
