Woodstock Chimes Temple Bells - Quintet - Brass

Ancient Chinese bells inspire these five coordinating bells, offering a restful tone. Bells have been used throughout history to accompany dance, provide comfort and warn of potential danger. The Chinese were the first to control the pitch or note of a bell, making it possible for them to play tunes. Soon, bells were being used to accompany worship. On New Year's Eve, the bells in Buddhist temples are rung 108 times, once for each of the 108 worldly desires. In the East, bells have become highly significant and are often adorned with meaningful symbols. For centuries, tuned bells have been suspended in homes and temples to ward off evil and attract good luck and prosperity. Woodstock Temple Bells are inspired by these ancient bells and work harmoniously with the wind to create gentle, soothing tones.
