COMMENTARY

1. Good sequence, no nearby traffic until very end of take, pigeons cooing strongly after bells end.

2. This sound was, at about 2.5 metres from the microphones, part of the keynote context of the previous recording.

3. At this distance the bells have a sustained chordal effect.

4. Note low frequency content of jet noise, also distant traffic produces low frequency rumble underneath general people and pigeon ambience.
