Stedman Compositions | Ringing Homepage Email me |
Stedman is a fantastic method. You have bells coursing for a whole quarter of each course, and so consequently a couple of decent rows around each course-end, and loads of random music so that you're not distracted by music off the front or big-bell and little-bell music in the same course. I've composed a couple of peals of it. | ||

A subsequent email correspondance between PABS, Ander Holroyd and myself produce several new cyclic compositions, including an absolutely fantastic Erin composition: "Since all courses start with spppp, in addition to the 'magnificent 54' you get all their companions obtained by permuting the first 3 bells, half at handstroke AND an additional six of 56789s, and another of 6789s (so also 9876s, 1234s, 2468s, 7531s etc etc)!!" 5076 Erin Caters Alexander E.

Ander subsequently produced a different composition on a similar plan, with more music.
