Tintinnabulation

Tintinnabulation is a word for the ringing sound of bells. There is a lovely bell tower on campus, and while I was outside walking this afternoon, someone was inside the tower, playing the bells. I enjoyed the sound of the bells. I am grateful for bell towers. They chime the hour (and in some cases the half hour or even the quarter hour), and in some towers, such as the one at my school, someone can manually play the bells. I am also grateful that there is a way to register for a class to learn how to play those bells! All of this is music to my ears.
