Handel called Britain the ringing isle because when he went to live there, he heard bells ringing everywhere: great bells in church towers, and handbells in some of the first private houses he visited.

Dove has incorporated from traditional change-ringing patterns, from Grandsire Doubles, Oxford Treble Bob Minor and a bit of Plain Bob Major. (6:00)
