- Tuned bells from 'Early Musical Instruments' with David Munrow in a Te Deum' played by Gillian Munrow on tuned bells from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
It is from a UK TV series 'Early Musical Instruments', broadcast in 1976. It consisted of six half-hour episodes, each devoted to a family of instruments, this being from the Keyboard & Percussion episode - others being Reeds, Plucked Strings, Flutes & Whistles , Plucked Strings, Brass and Bowed Strings.
The whole series of six episodes is available on a fully licensed DVD from: www.davidmunrow.org/orderform...
David, thank you for these uploads. This one is poinient as it also features David's wife Gillian Munrow. I first became interested in Early Music in 1989; long after Davids active years. What a musician, I have several recordings by David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of London. What a glorious sound they all produced; so good to see many of them in this series of videos. I am now convinced to buy the DVD of the TV series having seen the further exerts from the link in your description!
Looking for tuned bells to soothe a baby (who had seemed to enjoy the bells on a recording by La Reverdie), I happened to find this - thank you, David! I hope you're well.
Hello Ben! I'm delighted you found the clip useful - the bells were made by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry and the Early Music Consort of London occasionally used their premises to rehearse.
