Serenity score -- bells

BELLS --

This part was written for a set of homemade -- though as of yet
unmade -- DYS "bells" tuned to twenty equal. This part would require
the following pitch set:

-5, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, -16 4, -14 6, 8, 10, 12, -7 13

I've written this part with the same ASCII notational adaptation that
I used for the piano part:

"The numbers correspond to the equal division of the octave, though
only C' through C" are notated 0 through 20, so an A3 for example -- a
15/20ths of an octave
at 900� -- would be notated as a -5... and an Eb5 -- 5/20ths of an
octave at 300� -- would be notated as a 25 (etc.)."

And much like the piano part:

"The part is simple enough that I think it can support this somewhat
awkward use of numbers less than zero and greater than twenty without
taking on yet another off-putting notational encumbrance."

"SERENITY" Charles Ives
[arrangement, D. Stearns]

BELLS

- notes are to be played as though they were the receding echoes and
ripples of the piano part -

"A sound of a distant horn,
O'er shadowed lake it is borne,
My father's song."
