150 little bell rollups at the back.

100 little bell rollups off the front.

Composers Note: This composition is designed to achieve all 24 56’s and 65’s together with little bell music in every course (using standard calls only). This necessitates having 5 homes on 56’s and 65’s. The 5 homes on 56’s are split between the beginning and the end of the peal but the 5 consecutive homes on 65’s are unavoidable within the parameters of the aim.

If preferred the same length can be achieved by calling;   –s- as s, 5 as 3(-s-) and a further X in the last course. This reduces the number of 65’s (to 16) and little bell rollups off the front (to 93) but increases the number of little bell rollups at the back to 172.

First rung at Sheffield Cathedral on 28/09/08, conducted by the composer
